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.

Great. I made it for me and my roommates in the deep fryer and we all wanted more.

Very bad! This recipe is definitely missing something important. I made them last night following these instructions closely, they looked great, but when I tasted it, i spit it out in disgust. I keep looking at other funnel cake recipes and they all say to use milk and baking powder. I would not recommend this to anyone!

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!
