Easy Funnel Cake Recipe
Funnel Cakes are a popular fair food and they are so easy to make!
Equipment
- funnel
Ingredients
- canola oil enough for 1-2 inches in a pan
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk whole or 2% works best
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Add your oil to your pan. You want 1-2 inches in the bottom of the pan. Heat the oil over medium heat.
- In a bowl, add your flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together.
- In a measuring cup, add your milk. Add your 2 eggs to the milk and whisk until combined.
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients in the center. Use a whisk to combine. It's ok if you have a few lumps still.
- Check the oil temp. You want to temp around 350 degrees. See my tips above for easy ways to check your oil.
- Once the oil is ready, using a funnel, adding about a ladle of the batter into the funnel. Use a finger to plug the funnel hole.
- Bring the funnel over the hot oil and release your finger, creating a pattern with your batter. I start by creating the outer circle, then zig-zag to fill in the center.
- Let the first side cook about 2 minutes, then carefully flip the funnel cake. Cook the second side for 1-2 minutes, until browned.
- Place the funnel cake on a paper towel lined plate to catch the extra oil.
