Last week after our FHE lesson, we made funnel cakes for our treat. We made these several months ago and every now and then the kids will ask to make them again. So we made a double batch to share with our neighbors...yum yum!
Brock thought it was plate lickin good!
Here's the simple recipe I got from Schepps
Ingredients:
2 cups Milk
3-4 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
Powdered sugar (for topping)
Vegetable oil for deep frying, heated to 375° F
You’ll also need a funnel that can hold 1 cup of batter
Beat the eggs, add sugar and milk. Sift 2 cups of flour, salt and baking powder together and then add to the egg mixture. Mix while slowly adding the remaining flour until the batter is smooth. Cover the funnel opening with your fingers; add 1 cup batter into funnel. Remove your finger and let the batter pour into the hot oil in a circular motion, slowly expanding the circle to make a cake about 7” around. You can also crisscross the batter for a thicker cake. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Carefully remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with molasses, maple syrup or fruit preserves.

This looks so good and the recipe seems pretty simple. What kind of oil did you use to fry the cakes in?
We just used Canola, but I think Vegetable would work fine too.
WOw, that looks good. Thanks for sharing the recipe. We went to a fair this summer and before we even got there, I had decided that I had to have some funnel cake. How fun that I can now make my own.
