Make classic homemade funnel cakes. These crispy, sweet treats are perfect for parties or a fun weekend.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6-8 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large deep pot or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Hold your finger over the bottom opening of a funnel. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the funnel.
  6. Place the funnel over the hot oil. Remove your finger and move the funnel in a circular motion, creating a continuous stream of batter in the oil.
  7. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Remove funnel cake from oil with tongs. Place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain.
  9. Dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor oil temperature. Maintaining the correct temperature is key for crispy funnel cakes.
  • Adjust the amount of batter per funnel cake to your preferred size.
  • You can use a squeeze bottle with a wide opening if you do not have a funnel.
