Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 Cup buttermilk pancake mix
  • 1/4 Cup water Pulse 1-2 Tablespoons If Needed, cold
  • 1 Tbsp sugar granulated white
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • vegetable oil For Frying, or canola oil
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until just combined. The batter should be a cake like consistency, if it is too thick add one tablespoon of water at a time until the correct consistency is achieved.
  2. Add the batter to a piping bag with a circle tip or a zip top bag with a small piece of the corner cut off. Rest the bag in a tall glass or in a bowl while the oil heats, this makes for easier clean up if any drips out.
  3. In a dutch oven or 4 inch deep pan, add oil so that it is at least 3 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium high until the oil reaches a temperature of 340℉-350℉, adjust the heat as needed to keep the oil at this temperature. Prepare a plate lined with paper towels.
  4. Pipe 3-4 strips of the batter into the hot oil, about 5-6 inches long, working quickly as they fry fast. Flip the “fries” over after about 20-30 seconds and fry for another 20-30 seconds or until golden brown. Transfer the “fries” to a paper towel lined plate to soak up any excess oil. Repeat until all the batter has been used. (Remember to adjust the heat as needed to keep the temperature around 340℉-350℉)
  5. Dust the funnel cake fries with the powdered sugar using a fine mesh strainer and enjoy! Best served right away!

Notes

  • Other optional toppings: Caramel sauce, whipped cream, strawberries, chocolate sauce, maraschino cherries, sprinkles, blueberries, raspberries, sliced bananas, maple syrup.
  • You can toss the funnel cake fries in cinnamon and sugar instead of using powdered sugar or do both.
  • Any brand of buttermilk pancake mix can be used, the amount of water may have to be adjusted depending on the brand.
  • Store in a zip-top bag with all excess air removed at room temperature for up to 2 days, reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375℉ until hot and crispy.
