Churro Funnel Cake Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by mixing eggs, milk, salt, baking powder, and flour into a smooth batter. The funnel cake is formed by drizzling batter in circular and crisscross patterns into hot oil heated to about 350°F (medium-high). If available, a metal funnel cake ring is used to shape the cake. Each side is fried for 1–2 minutes until browned and crispy.
After frying, the cake is drained briefly on paper towels and then coated thoroughly in a cinnamon and sugar mixture, giving it a classic churro flavor. It is finished with a drizzle of caramel and topped with whipped cream, combining textures of crispy fried dough and creamy garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 c sugar
- 1/2 c cinnamon
- 2 egg
- 1 1/2 c milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 c all-purpose flour
- cooking oil for frying
- caramel
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Pour vegetable oil in a frying pan (about 1 inch high) on medium high heat (You want it to be around 350 degrees).
- Place cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish and mix well. Set aside.
- Mix eggs, milk. Salt, baking powder and flour in a medium bowl until it’s a smooth batter.
- If you have a metal funnel cake ring, place that in the oil.
- Pour batter into a funnel, blocking the tip of the funnel with your finger.
- Position funnel over the hot oil and slowly move your finger so batter comes out in a steady stream. Make circular and crisscross motions to form a funnel cake. (If using the ring, pour batter around the edges first about 3 times before crisscrossing in the middle). Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Using tongs, flip the funnel cake so each side is browned. Remove to a paper towel to drain for a few seconds.
- Dip funnel cake in cinnamon and sugar mixture, spooning over to make sure it gets on the funnel cake.
- Drizzle with caramel and top with Mickey-shaped whipped cream.
