Description:

Indulge in the irresistible delight of homemade funnel cakes with this easy-to-follow recipe! Perfect for satisfying your family’s cravings without waiting for the next carnival. These golden brown treats are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dusted with a sweet sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar. Dive into a world of flavor with every bite!

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Batter:

    • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Frying:

    • In a chicken fryer or electric skillet, heat at least half an inch of oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
  4. Forming Funnel Cakes:

    • Using a measuring cup or a funnel (keeping your finger over the bottom to prevent the batter from flowing out), pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter into the funnel or measuring cup.
    • While holding the funnel or cup several inches above the hot oil, release your finger and move the funnel or cup in a spiral motion to form the cake.
  5. Frying Process:

    • Fry the funnel cake for about 2 minutes on each side or until it turns a delightful golden brown color. Use tongs to carefully flip the cake to ensure even cooking.
  6. Draining:

    • Once cooked to perfection, remove the funnel cake from the oil using tongs and place it on a paper plate or paper towels to drain off excess oil.
  7. Finishing Touch:

    • Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter to make additional funnel cakes.
    • Dust each warm funnel cake generously with confectioners’ sugar just before serving.
