Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 large funnel cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

Canola oil, for deep-frying
2 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the funnel cakes: Add enough oil to a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot to come 2 inches up the sides of the pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 360 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a baking sheet with a metal cooling rack or a few layers of paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, vanilla and eggs in a large measuring cup.
  • Sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl using a mesh strainer (to break up any lumps in the brown sugar). Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until smooth and combined.
  • When the oil is up to temperature, use your finger to cover the hole in the bottom of a 1- to 2-cup funnel (with at least a 1/2-inch hole) and fill it to the top with about 3/4 cup of the batter. Position the funnel over the pot of hot oil and remove your finger to release the batter. Let the batter flow into the oil in thick squiggles, moving the funnel within a contained circular shape about 8 inches in diameter. Fry on the first side until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then use a spider or tongs to carefully flip to the second side and fry for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove to the wire rack or paper towels and let drain and cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • For topping: Dust the funnel cakes generously with the confectioners' sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon and dollop with whipped cream before serving warm.

FUNNEL CAKES

These American funfair favourites are a cross between a doughnut and churros - fill a funnel or piping bag with batter and drizzle into hot oil to make squiggly round cakes

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Snack, Treat

Time 30m

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

vegetable or sunflower oil for deep frying
300g plain flour
1 tbsp icing sugar , plus extra for dusting
2 tsp baking powder
275ml milk
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into a large saucepan to come halfway up the sides, it should be about 7cm deep. Heat until the oil reaches 170C-180C on a thermometer, or if you don't have one drop in a chunk of bread - the oil is hot enough when it browns in about 30 secs.
  • Whilst the oil heats up, whisk together the flour, icing sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs and a good pinch of salt. Transfer the batter to a disposable piping bag and secure the end with a peg (you'll need another peg for the other end, once you've cut it open.)
  • When the oil is hot, snip off the end of the piping bag to make an opening about 1cm wide - the batter will drizzle out so pinch it closed until you're ready. Hold the piping bag over the oil, release your finger and drizzle the batter in in a swirly circle shape. Pinch the opening to close it, then make another cake, you should fit about 3 in the pan it one time, depending on the width of your pan. Secure the piping bag with another peg whilst the cakes cook, they'll need about 1 min on each side, or until they're golden brown and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and dust generously with icing sugar, best eaten straight away.
