Ingredients
1½cupsall-purpose flour
1tspbaking powder
¼tspsalt
1⅓cupmilk
½tspvanilla extract
1egg
*Oil for fryingamt depends on your skillet size I used peanut oil
1/4 cup confectioners sugar for dusting
Instructions
Add dry ingredients into large bowl.
Add in eggs, milk & vanilla & whisk until fully combined & there are very little lumps.
In a large skillet add about ½ inch oil & heat to 350 degrees - watching closely.
Transfer batter into a large squeeze bottle - you may have to do this in batches.
Once oil has reached frying temperature - squeeze batter into funnel cake pattern - try to keep it somewhat circular.
Allow to fry 30-60 seconds or until golden brown - flip & cook other side the same.
*Note- keep watch of your oil temp as this can fluctuate.
Once both sides are done cooking use tongs to remove & place immediately in paper sack to drain off the oil.
Continue with remaining batter & adding to the bag.
Once complete dust each cake with confectioners sugar before serving.
A fun twist - if you use my 2-Ingredient Dough, you can roll it out into strips and make funnel cake in the air fryer. Cook at 375 for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
