5 Videos | Photo: Funnel Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 stick butter (6 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup eggs, about 4 large eggs and 2 whites
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for topping
Directions
Boil water, butter, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan. Add flour and work it in until it is all incorporated and dough forms a ball. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer and let cool for 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer lowest speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely incorporated before continuing. Once all eggs have been added and mixture is smooth, put dough in a piping bag fitted with a number 12 tip. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy pan. Pipe dough into oil, making a free-form lattice pattern; cook until browned, flipping once. Remove cake from oil, drain on paper towels, and top with powdered sugar. Continue until all of the batter is used.

Bloody awful!!! Tastes so eggy! It's missing something. It LOOKS like a funnel cake.. but the only part of it that tastes like a funnel cake is the powdered sugar. Don't waste your time!

Was amazing. And yes, for people who post bad reviews because they cannot cook, IT COMES OUT PERFECT. especially if you have a deep fryer (I got one for 20 at Wal Mart. The only thing I changed is adding a bit of vanilla and a tad more sugar. But it was really good, my entire family is asking weekly for more. ( I am a guy, if I can cook this without flaw 5-6 times, so can you!
