Easy Funnel Cake Recipe

Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Funnel Cake:

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Oil (for frying)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oil:

• In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the right temperature.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

4. Combine the Batter:

• Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter—pourable but not too thin.

5. Fry the Funnel Cake:

• Using a funnel, squeeze bottle, or a large spoon, carefully drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a swirling motion, forming a crisscross pattern. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

6. Drain:

• Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7. Dust with Powdered Sugar:

• Once slightly cooled, generously dust the funnel cake with powdered sugar.

Serve and enjoy your crispy, golden Funnel Cake! You can also top it with fruit, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
