Funnel Cake Recipe
This delicious funnel cake recipe recreates carnival magic at home with simple ingredients and quick preparation, perfect for family fun.
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 3 ⅔ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- N/A Oil for Frying Enough to fill 3 inches in your skillet.
- N/A Powdered Sugar
- N/A Fresh Whipped Cream Optional
- N/A Sliced Strawberries Optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until smooth.
- Add in the whole milk and whisk until well combined to create a smooth base for your batter.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl, stirring until all ingredients are just combined. A few lumps in the batter are fine.
- Heat approximately 3 inches of oil in a deep skillet or electric fryer to 350°F.
- Transfer the batter into pastry bags or ziplock bags, cutting off the tip.
- Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion. Fry for about 2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and fry for another 2 minutes.
- Place the cooked funnel cakes on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, and top with whipped cream and slices of strawberries if desired.
Notes
- Keep the oil hot for even frying. Use a bag for easy drizzling of batter.
- Fry only one or two funnel cakes at a time to maintain oil temperature.
- Experiment with toppings like chocolate sauce or caramel for extra flavor.
