Funnel Cake Recipe
With
this recipe, you can make funnel cakes like those at the state fair.
Ingredients
2 1/2 to 3
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
powdered sugar
for dusting
Directions
You will need
a funnel large enough to hold a cup of batter and a deep fryer or heavy
skillet. (If you don't have a funnel, a large pastry bag will do,
but will get a little messy.)
1. In a medium bowl,
mix 1 1/2 cup of the flour and the baking powder together.
2. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, salt, and milk together. Add
the flour and baking powder mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in more
of the remaining flour until you have achieved the desired consistency—a
batter thin enough to run through a funnel, but thicker than pancake
batter.
3. In a deep fryer or heavy skillet, heat the oil to 375 degrees. Place
you finger over the hole in the bottom of the funnel and add one-half
to 2/3’s cup batter. Hold the funnel close to the oil, remove
your finger, and release the batter into the hot oil while making a
circular motion.
4. Fry until golden brown turning the cake once. Remove the cake and
place it on paper towels to drain.
5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot with jam or syrup if desired.
