If the first thing you do when you visit a fair is get a warm, crispy funnel cake, then this recipe is for you. Chris's funnel cake recipe lets you make them at home! We did have to add a little more milk to get the proper consistency, but they still turned out great. It was fun to play around and learn the technique of the swirl...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs, beaten
1 1/3 c milk
2 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
4 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
powdered sugar, for dusting
oil for frying
whipped cream, chocolate sauce, fresh sliced fruits or preserves for topping

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly beat the eggs and then whisk in milk and vanilla.
  • 2. Sift dry ingredients together.
  • 3. Gradually add dry ingredients to milk mixture. Beat until smooth.
  • 4. Heat oil in a frying pan to 375 degrees. (Make sure oil is heated enough or batter or will not cook quickly enough to retain shape.)
  • 5. Using a standard kitchen funnel with a 1/2" hole, drizzle the batter quickly onto the hot oil, spiraling the batter placement so that you have a circular web of dough. Fry for 45 seconds or until brown. Then flip and fry the underside until evenly brown.
  • 6. Remove the cake from the oil and let drain on a paper towel.
  • 7. Dust with powdered sugar and then load with the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
