Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: about 6 funnel cakes
Ingredients
  • 1 1⁄3 cups flour
  • 2 1⁄2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3⁄4 cup + 2 tablespoons plain or unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • High heat oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk beverage and vanilla and beat to combine.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and beat until smooth.
  4. Fill a medium skillet with 1 inch of oil and heat it to 375°F and lay out some paper towels.
  5. Cover the hole of a funnel with your finger and fill the funnel with ¼ cup of the batter. (See post above for funnel alternatives.) Hold the funnel over the skillet, remove your finger from the bottom of the funnel and immediately move the funnel around, pouring the batter into the oil in whatever patterns you like. Fry the funnel cake for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the underside is golden. Flip (tongs work great) and fry another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the other side is golden. Remove the funnel cake to the paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. Serve the funnel cakes hot and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
