Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups canola oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add the canola oil and place over medium heat. Let the oil come up to 375 degrees F and maintain that temperature.
- While the oil is heating up, begin making the funnel cake batter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the milk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and combined.
- Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a ziplock storage bag with a small hole cut in the corner.
- Squeeze the batter into the oil in a circle motion. Let cook for one minute then flip carefully with tongs.
- After another minute remove funnel cake from oil and place on a sheet pan lined with paper towels to soak any extra oil. Repeat until all the batter is used.

Notes
- • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheat in the oven at 350 for five minutes.
- • Serve warm with powdered sugar, chopped strawberries or vanilla ice cream.
- • Be very careful not to splatter hot oil when flipping the funnel cakes. It is best to carefully turn them over with tongs, do not try to flip them with a spatula.
