Funnel Cake Ingredients
Method
Funnel Cake Directions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick yet pourable.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
- 3
Fry the Funnel Cake
Using a funnel or a squeeze bottle, pour the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion to create a lacy pattern. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- 4
Drain and Serve
Remove the funnel cake from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your funnel cake warm!
