Description

Deliciously crispy and golden brown funnel cake, perfect for fairs and carnivals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
