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.

This is such a great recipe. My husband is a big fan of carnival treats and I surprised him with this on his lunch break. Very quick and easy.

Sometimes certain things cannot be "semi-homemade". This was messy, time consuming and did not look nor taste like a funnel cake. It is no easier than the other recipes on this site and those taste better!! Avoid this recipe

I chose to try this recipe over the others, eventhough it was rated 3 stars for it's simplicty & it won with high marks. I am Lactose intolerant & didn't have any Vanilla Creamer so I replaced them with Lactose Free milk, & 1 tsp vanilla extract. They came out tasty, light, & fluffy. I squeezed it out of a plastic ketchup bottle--A+ for this tip. The only problem I had was trying to get a consistent oil temp. through-out frying so they don't brown too quickly, but that's not the fault of the recipe. Next time I may vary it by adding cinnamon, lemon or lime zest to the batter.

Saw this recipe made on
Food Network Semi-Homade Program. Had to find it on web to copy for my own use. Never would've thought to try making these on my own if not for Sandra Dee's show.
