- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3-4 cups canola or vegetable oil
- 1 jar marshmallow creme or marshmallow fluff
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- With a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl until foamy and well combined. Carefully add in the flour mixture and mix until you have a smooth, thick batter. Place the batter in a bag or bottle for piping.
