Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 egg large
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 – 4 cups canola oil for frying, or vegetable oil
  • powdered sugar for dusting
  • Fruit optional toppings
  • chocolate sauce
  • glaze
  • cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Add the eggs, water, sugar, milk, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and whisk. You may need to switch to stirring with a spatula as the batter thickens.
  4. Fill a piping bag or storage bag with the batter. A piping tip isn’t needed, but you can use a coupler or a round piping tip if you prefer.
  5. Place oil into a dutch oven or large pot.
  6. Place over medium heat and let it come up to 390 degrees F. Use a candy thermometer or deep frying thermometer.
  7. Carefully pipe 2-3 inch lines of batter into the hot oil. Use scissors, knife or your finger to break the batter off. Don’t crowd the fries, so only pipe 5 to 6 at a time and pipe even less if your notice your oil dropping in temperature.
  8. Fry on both sides until golden brown about 45-60 seconds.
  9. Using a spider strainer, remove and let drain on paper towels for 1-2 mins.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar or other toppings
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This recipe can be used to make funnel cakes.
  • For a crispier funnel cake, reduce the flour in half.
  • If you find that the batter is too thick to stir, add an additional 1 tablespoon of water.
  • If the batter is taking longer than 1-2 mins to fry, your oil is not hot enough. You may need to reduce the amount of batter you are adding at once.
  • You can test the oil by sprinkling a small amount of flour into the hot oil and if it sizzles the oil is hot enough.
