Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1-1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- *Oil for frying amt depends on your skillet size I used peanut oil
Coating
- 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine coating ingredients in a medium bowl - stir together & set aside
- Add dry funnel cake ingredients into large bowl
- Add in eggs, milk & vanilla & whisk until fully combined & there will be very little lumps
- Place your metal ring in a large skillet & add about 1/2 inch oil & heat to 350 degrees - watching closely
- Transfer batter into the funnel
- Once oil has reached frying temperature - pour batter into funnel cake pattern within the ring - crisscrossing to fill the holes
- Allow to fry 30 seconds or until golden brown - flip & cook the other side for another 20-30 seconds
- *Note- keep watch of your oil temp as this can fluctuate.
- Once both sides are done cooking use tongs to remove & place immediately in cinnamon & sugar mixture - toss to coat & then transfer to drying rack to cool slightly
- Continue with remaining batter
- Use a little raspberry jam mixed with a tiny bit of water stirred together to make a sauce for dipping
Notes
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.
