Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small round tip.
- Squeeze 3-4 inch sticks of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel cake sticks and drain them on paper towels.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or fruit preserves.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature (375°F) for a crispy texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in small batches for even cooking.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
- These are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven at 350°F for a few minutes.
