Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the drops tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the batter before dropping it: Chilling the batter helps it hold its shape better when it's dropped into the hot oil.
  • Use a deep fryer or large saucepan: You'll need a deep fryer or large saucepan to fry the drops. The oil should be at least 3 inches deep.
  • Fry the drops in small batches: Don't crowd the drops in the fryer or saucepan. Fry them in small batches so they have room to cook evenly.
  • Drain the drops on paper towels: After frying, drain the drops on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the drops warm: Rocky road drops are best served warm. You can serve them with ice cream, whipped cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
