Once you get the thickness down, doing the spirals in the hot oil is a breeze...

This recipe is a great recipe for a small get together. My parents really liked this recipe when I cooked it for them.

One of our favorite ballpark treats easily made at home! Batter was mixed by the kids (who also enjoyed the task of dusting the cakes with lots of powdered sugar). Great authentic taste, crispy on the edges with warm, soft dough inside.

I followed this recipe to a "t" and was very excited to try these because I have a bad craving for funnel cakes, (being pregnant doesn't help.) I was discouraged when I went to fry the batter it just spred out in the pot and bubbled about. I tried to bring the temperature of the oil lower but I had the same results. I am so upset! I'll stick to my fried dough recipe I guess.

My kids just loves them. They said they were better than the ones you get at the theme parks. Way to go. You made me the most popular mom on the block. Thanks

I made this tonight for dessert and got rave reviews from my friends. Mixing the ingredients was easy enough, but I didn't have a piping bag, so I just used a ziploc freezer bag and cut off a corner. Our funnel cakes weren't perfectly shaped, but they DID taste DELICIOUS and authentic!!! Just like the ones I get at the amusement park! It takes a while to get the method of piping the batter into the oil, but you get better as you go along. Next time though, instead of a ziploc bag, I will use an empty ketchup squeeze bottle (it'll be less messy AND easier to use). Will definitely make this again! Thanks for the recipe Dave!

I may have done something wrong with these but they did not turn out right at all. Easy to prepare but batter separated when I went to fry the cakes.

to funnel or not to funnel..

following the recipe was fairly simple. combining the ingredients until it made a somewhat watery state was easy. when it came to the actual cooking, however, it didn't seem to come out right. either my funnel was to thin or my oil was too hot, but the cake came out seperated and difficult to turn over. so i tried to just pour the batter from a cup, and it turned out a little thick, but i suppose it was alright. anyway, it was after all, my first time, and experience i believe is always the best teacher. despite all the difficulties, the funnel cake tasted great and my friends enjoyed it to the last bite.

When my children were young they loved to go to the carnival and they especially love the funnel cakes. It is a wonderful treat for them. This recipe brings back those days so long ago and it brought back such wonderful memories for them. This recipe is a 10.
