Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose baking mix
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup liquid vanilla coffee creamer, or other flavor of your choice
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix, eggs, milk and coffee creamer. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
In a deep-fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
Cover the bottom of a funnel with your finger. Ladle 1/2 cup of batter into funnel. Holding funnel over oil, slowly release finger and move in a spiral motion, then cross over to create criss-cross pattern. Fry golden on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar.
Alternate method: Instead of using a funnel, try squeezing batter out of a plastic ketchup bottle. This can help you make the design more accurate and is also less messy.

My family suffers from a serious chronic POLYSORBATE 60 deficiency, so we have eliminated all natural dairy products from our diet and replaced them with coffee creamer. Coffee creamer is also an excellent source of DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, and PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL. If your family does not eat seaweed, it is rich in CARRAGEENAN, too.I make these funnel cakes for the kids after school snack nearly every day now. They enjoy them with those little cartons of root beer flavored coffee creamer. A really nutritious snack. Thanks Sandra for helping us all leasrn about the health benefits of coffee creamer.

it is SO vital to have the oil temperature at 375 degrees. wait maybe two minutes AFTER cooking the last one to make the next, so the oil will reheat back to 375 degrees! At that temperature the batter will not absorb the oil, making the funnel cakes dense and unappetizing, from the absorbtion of the not-so-hot-enough oil.
So what did we learn here? Keep the Oil at a constant temperature of 375 degrees, by all means get a candy thermometer to regulate the temperature if using a stovetop heavy duty pan.
There is no way you can ruin this recipe if you correctly fry it.
