Quick and Easy Funnel Cakes

There is no need to wait  for Fairs or Carnivals to enjoy Funnel cakes. This is a very easy recipe.

Onces you mix the batter ingredients, you should obtain a smooth texture that can easily stream from a funnel or a squeeze bottle.

The  batter is commonly poured through a funnel and that is why the cakes are called ” Funnel Cakes”.

Deep fry the batter by squeezing it into a hot oil . Squeeze and make spirals like shapes.

Use tongs to return the cakes and fry the other side.

Once the cakes are golden brown, drain on paper towel, then dust with powdered sugar and Voila!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• 4 tsp granulated sugar
• Pinch of salt
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, salt, sugar, vanilla extract and milk.
2. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Then mix until no lumps remain.
3. Add the 2 tablespoons of oil and fold it in. You should obtain a smooth thick batter.
4.  Pour the batter in a squeeze bottle, using a liquid measuring cup. Usually we use a funnel to make this cake, but I find it easier and cleaner to use a squeeze bottle.

5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

6.  Once the oil is hot (375 °F), squeeze the batter into the hot oil and move your hand in circular motions.

7.  Use tongs to turn the cake and fry the other side.
8. Once the cake is golden brown, drain it on paper towel.

9. Dust with powdered sugar.

10. Enjoy.
