now back to the recipe the first thing we need to do is start off by making our
batter and to do that I have a large bowl here I'm gonna add to that 1 cup of
flour 1 tablespoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of baking powder a dash of salt and just
whisk that all together next we're gonna add 1 large egg and 1 cup of milk and
just whisk this up now what we're going to do is just move this batter aside
we're going to come back to it we have to heat up our oil so let's do that now
I have a small pot here on my hot plate I'm gonna add some vegetable oil to this
and I'm only going to add about 2 inches of vegetable oil I'm using a small pot
because I'm not gonna do a couple of times I think that's good so I have my
pot on the hot plate and we're heating up the oil when it gets between 350 and
375 degrees Fahrenheit that's the temperature we want the oil to be at and
that's the perfect temperature to deep fry our peeps
alright so our tip just reached over 350 degrees we're going to put our peeps in
first thing we're gonna do here is our peeps we have a bunch of different
colors we're gonna start with yellow here's the batter it thickened up a
little bit we're just gonna dip our peep in the batter cover it really good
and you may need a spoon cover it shake off the excess and we're just going to
take this and put this right into our batter now it won't take long
and we're gonna try to turn it a little bit all right so I have to pull this out
of here drain off the excess and put it on a
paper towel to drain the rest now I've got to experiment a little bit here and
see if it helps I've been putting it from the batter straight into the grease
but this time what I'm gonna do is dip it into batter put this in the
refrigerator or the freezer for about 15 minutes and then put it in the grease
and see if that helps a little bit so I just have a baking sheet and on some wax
paper here I have one of my peeps covered in the batter and I'm gonna do
it with a couple of them hopefully this will work now off to the freezer for
about 15 minutes so I've had my peeps in the freezer for about 20 minutes I've
trimmed them up as you can see right here and what I'm gonna do now is dip
them back in the batter again before I put them in my grease my grease is
almost that temperature again and I'm doing this because I'm trying to keep as
much of that marshmallow inside the batter as possible and when you put it
into grease of course it just wants to come out so we're trying it hopefully
it'll work we'll see so take our Peep one last time dip it in there
shake off the excess and here we go
it held its the shape a little better it's working out better this way for
sure now this is what they look like I have three good ones one of each color
well now it's time for the taste test I'm gonna dig in to our deep fried
marshmallow peeps now I'm gonna dig in to the blue one and we'll see how it is
it's nice all the marshmallow didn't disappear in
this one so that's good um I would like to have the batter a little bit better
done the blue one I didn't have an there that long I'm gonna try the yellow one
next I think the other one turned out a little bit better but let's try that I
had the batter and I had that one in there a little longer than a yellow so
let's give that a shot
mmm for sure this is better a lot of marshmallow did disappear not
so much in a blue one because I didn't have it in there as long but you can
still taste some there's still some marshmallow in there and it gives it a
really nice taste the like yellow sugar kind of sticks to the top of the inside
of the batter and a little bit of that marshmallow still in there well thanks

marshmallow peeps there's a lot of fun making these it is something a little
bit different but it's well worth a shot and it did taste pretty good too I did use
