Every year when I go to the fair I get a funnel cake, love it.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions
  1. 1. In a deep medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 350º to 375º on a deep-fat thermometer.
  2. 2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and add the milk and eggs; whisk until smooth.
  3. 3. Transfer the batter to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, remove the excess air and seal the top. With scissors, snip off a corner to make a 1/4-inch-wide hole. Carefully squeeze about 1 cup batter (one-eighth of the mixture) back and forth into the oil, making a free-form lacy web. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, turn the cake over and cook until golden on the other side, about 1 minute more. Transfer the funnel cake to paper towels to drain briefly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. 4. Dust the funnel cakes with confectioners' sugar and serve hot.
  5. Smart move: To avoid messy spills between frying each batch, set the bag of batter, slit side up, in a bowl next to the stovetop.

I love making funnel cakes at home. I've found using a small funnel easier.Place a finger over bottom opening of funnel n fill with batter, remove finger n let drip over you hot oil.


I have never made 'em, but they are my most favorite memory of every fair I've ever been to! Thanks!


I adore these, the local fairs haven't had them the last few years...now I won't have to deprive myself any longer!! THanks


Just what I was looking for! THANK YOU!!
