Funnel Cake
Crispy and delicious homemade funnel cakes that are perfect for fairs and celebrations, dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
For the batter
- 1.5 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
For frying
- 5 cups vegetable oil For frying
- powdered sugar For dusting before serving
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large round frying pan, heat oil to 350°F over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Frying
- Transfer batter to a large resealable plastic bag or a large funnel.
- If using a plastic bag, snip a small piece off one corner to release the batter into the oil. If using a funnel, keep your finger over the bottom of the funnel until you’re ready to release the batter.
- In a circular pattern over the hot oil, release the batter into the oil, making sure the batter overlaps and touches so it will stay together as it cooks.
- Fry funnel cakes for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove to paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.
Notes
