Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (236 ml) whole milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting funnel cakes
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- Fry the funnel cakes: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet. Pour the batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle, then drizzle it into the hot oil in a circular motion. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the funnel cakes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- You can add flavorings like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a twist on the classic recipe.
- Adjust the milk amount to achieve the desired batter consistency – it should be pourable but thick enough to hold its shape.
