Ingredients:
- 12 large marshmallows
- 1 cup pancake mix
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, mix the pancake mix, water, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the marshmallows. Add a little more water if needed.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
