County Fair Funnel Cake Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 11

Also needed:
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk (I used whole milk)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Confectioners sugar for topping
A small kitchen funnel with about a 1/2" opening
An 8-inch skillet (mine was non-stick)
Deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • Preheat oil in an 8-inch skillet to 360° F over medium-high heat. Use a deep-fry thermometer for accuracy. While the oil heats, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl and using a mixer, beat together the egg and milk on low speed for about 10 seconds, just to blend well. Beat in the flour mixture until smooth. (The batter should be able to pass through the funnel opening.. if it's too thick, add a dab more milk.. if too thin, add a bit more flour. I did not need to add either.) When oil is ready, put your finger over the funnel hole and spoon about 2/3 cup batter into the funnel. (My funnel was small so I filled it to the top, worked out perfect.) Holding the end of the funnel close to the oil, remove finger from the opening and release batter into the oil in a circular motion. Fry until bottom side is light golden, then using a wide spatula and tongs, carefully flip it over and fry second side for 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel lined wire rack to drain. Repeat process for the other funnel cake. Transfer cakes to 2 serving plates and dust with a humongous amount of sifted confectioners sugar!! Then pull it apart with your fingers and enjoy! Delicious too, with some real maple syrup.

I'm not a big fan of funnel cakes, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. The batter was light and fluffy, and the crispy edges were just perfect.

This funnel cake recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfect. The cakes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the powdered sugar and fruit toppings are the perfect finishing touch.

These funnel cakes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my funnel cakes turned out flat and greasy. I'll have to try again.

The funnel cake batter was too thick and didn't pour well. I had to add more milk to get it to the right consistency.

These funnel cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
