Hey Everyone!

Despite all of the difficulties we are experiencing in the world right now, I am so excited to share this fun and easy recipe with all of you. I can’t wait for warm weather and the conclusion of “social distancing” so I can go out and enjoy one of my favorite treats, funnel cake. But until then, here’s how you can make carnival-style funnel cake at home.

Pro Tips:

You can use whatever milk you’d like for this recipe. For example, I used oat milk and it turned out just fine.
Make sure the oil is hot before pipping in your your batter. Also take your time when piping the batter into the hot oil.
I primarily used one bowl for this recipe (with the exception of the smaller bowl I used to beat the egg). However, if you’d like, you can mix the wet and dry ingredients separately than combine them to throughly mix.
The funnel cake does not take long to cook. I recommend staying close, to monitor how fast each side is browning.

Ingredients:

1 Cup of All- Purpose Flour
1/4 cup of Granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Abstract
1 Egg
1/2 cup of milk
Vegetable oil
Confectioner’s Sugar (Powdered Sugar)

Instructions:

Pour 1 inch of oil into a medium (10 inch) skillet. Turn the heat up to medium-high. As the goal is for the oil to reach 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and granulated sugar.
Add in the milk, vanilla and beaten egg.
Mix well!
Add the mixture until a ziplock bag (or a squirt bottle. - If you use a ziplock bag, cut a small corner in of the bag to release the mixture.
Gently pour the mixture into the hot oil, by first making a circle, and then making zig-zag motions in the circle. Try to make sure the lines inside reach the circle to make it easier to flip.
Fry each side into golden brown (about 2 1/2 - 3 minutes)
Remove the funnel cake from the pan and onto a lined baking sheet for the excess oil to drain.
Sprinkle powdered sugar onto the funnel cake.
Enjoy!!
