Description
A nostalgic recipe for crispy, golden funnel cakes, perfect for state fairs or festive occasions, dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 3 2/3 cups flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add milk and mix. Gradually add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, mixing until smooth.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large skillet, pour in enough oil to submerge the funnel cakes. Heat the oil to 375°F.
- Fry Your Funnel Cakes: Pour batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag. Drizzle batter into the hot oil in a circular motion, overlapping slightly. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel cake and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Dust and Enjoy: Generously dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Notes
For a healthier version, consider using whole wheat flour or natural sweeteners. Ensure oil is at correct temperature for best results.
