Easy Funnel Cake Recipe
Funnel Cakes Are Quick and Easy to Make
Funnel Cakes are easy to make and fun to eat, so named because of the use of a funnel to pour the batter into the pan with.
To make this easy Funnel Cake recipe, you will need a large frying pan, ( I recommend a cast iron skillet), large mixing bowl and a funnel with a 3/8 inch opening.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of self rising flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups of whole milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
Vegetable oil (Crisco)
Combine flour, sugar, milk and eggs in bowl, beating until smooth.
Heat 1/4 inch of Crisco oil to 375 in skillet. You will need to add more oil as you go, usually after frying 3 funnel cakes, try to maintain the oil in the skillet at around 1/4 inch.
Take the funnel and cover the opening with your finger, pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the funnel.
Hold funnel over skillet, remove finger from the end of the funnel to release the batter into the hot oil. Move the funnel in a circular motion as the batter is coming out. Slightly over lap some of the edges, forming a spiral shape.
Only do one at a time, fry each funnel cake for 1 minute or until edges are golden brown. Flip funnel cake over with a fork and fry the other side until golden brown, (about another minute)
Remove funnel cake from oil, drain on paper towel, repeat the process with remaining batter.
Serve as is, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and/or cinnamon., or top with strawberries and whip cream. Funnel cakes make a good snack or a quick breakfast.
This easy Funnel Cake recipe will yield about 1 dozen, 5 inch funnel cakes.
