- ½ cup corn starch
- ¼ cup aquafaba(optional)
- ⅔ cup soy milk
- 1½ cup pancake mix
- 2 cup crispy rice cereal, crushed in a food processor
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 15 round watermelon pieces (I used a melon baller)

Instructions
- Heat oil to 375F in a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pan.
- Place ½ cup cornstarch into a bowl.In a medium bowl, mix together aquafaba if using, soy milk, and pancake mix. It should be a thick batter consistency.
- In another bowl, mix crushed rice cereal, ¼ cup corn starch and sugar.
- One at a time, place watermelon balls into the corn starch, then the batter, and then into the rice cereal mixture. You can use a skewer ortoothpickfor this.
- Place into the hot oil and cook until golden, about 2 mins, flipping constantly. Fry only 4 at a time to avoid cooling down the oil.
- Place onto a wire cooling rack to allow the oil to drip off.
- Serve with a drizzle of icing, and some on the side to dip.
