Milk,

Eggs

tsp Vanilla extract

All purpose Flour, more or less (Check tips)

Sugar

Salt

tsp Baking powder

Cinnamon powder (optional)

Oil,

Confectioners Sugar, as needed

Heat Oil

Heat oil in a pan or skillet on medium heat so that it becomes nice and hot.

Make batter

In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla together. To this add dry ingredients – flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until it is smooth and creamy.

Adjusting batter

If you feel the batter is too thick, add more milk, if it is too thin then add extra flour. Basically, the batter should be slightly thicker than your regular pancake batter but of pourable consistency. (Check tips)

Prepare Funnel Cake Batter

Pour batter

To pour batter into the oil you can use a funnel cake dispenser or Ziploc bags or refillable round nozzle squeeze bottle with 1/4 inch nozzle.

Zigzag Patterns

Pour some of the batter into any one of the above pouring devices and drizzle in a swirling and overlapping motion (or zig-zag pattern) in hot oil to get a funnel cake. Make sure some of the swirls are connected. This need not have to be a perfect circle

Cook

Let this cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer it to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Sprinkle Sugar

Sprinkle with confectioners sugar as needed.

Funnel Cakes are ready. Serve them warm and enjoy.

eggs

water

sugar

milk

vanilla exract

all-purpose flour

baking powder

salt

cinnamon

canola or vegetable oil (for frying)

sugar (for dusting)

fruit, chocolate sauce, glaze or cinnamon sugar (optional toppings)

Add the eggs, water, sugar, milk, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until frothy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

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.

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.

Place oil into a dutch oven or large pot.

Place over medium heat and let it come up to 390 degrees F. Use a candy thermometer or deep frying thermometer.

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.

Fry on both sides until golden brown about 45-60 seconds.

Using a spider strainer, remove and let drain on paper towels for 1-2 mins.

Dust with powdered sugar or other toppings

Serve immediately.
