Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups milk
1 egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter, melted
4 cups vegetable oil
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Gradually whisk in the milk, then the egg and vanilla, and finally the sugar and melted butter.

Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over high heat to 350 degrees F. Pour as much batter as fits into a funnel, holding your finger at the base of the funnel to dam it. Bring the funnel over the top of the hot oil, release your finger to begin the stream of batter, and move the funnel in a circular motion to create a spiral shape. Use about 1/2 cup batter per funnel cake, or more or less to your liking. Fry 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed, turning over when 1 side is golden.

Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with 2 layers of paper towels. Immediately top with a good scattering of powdered sugar. Repeat until no batter remains.

The fair at home!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were amazing!! I don't know what others did wrong but mine stayed together perfectly. I didn't put the filling in a... bag and squeeze it out because I wanted them thick so I used a little cup and poured in the batter. Really fast and easy! Have fun!Read more

Disappointing
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Bubble-effect
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

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.Read more
