Method

Prepare the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Mix until thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Cook the Funnel Sticks

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 5

    Create the Funnel Shape

    Using a funnel or squeeze bottle, pour the batter into the hot oil in a spiral or crisscross pattern to create funnel stick shapes.

  3. 6

    Fry Until Golden Brown

    Fry the funnel sticks for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to flip them carefully.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Remove the funnel sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve and Enjoy

  1. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle powdered sugar over the funnel sticks while they are still warm, and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

  2. 9

    Add Fresh Berries

    Serve with fresh berries on the side for a delightful touch. Enjoy your funnel sticks warm!
