This is a super simple recipe that can be made in under 30 minutes without a deep fryer.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milkÂą (236ml) (or more, if needed)
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting funnel cakes
Instructions:
-
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well-combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using) until well-combined.
-
While whisking, gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until mixture is smooth and combined. Set aside.
-
Fill a medium-sized saucepan 2-3” deep with vegetable oil. Set on stovetop over medium-low heat and place a candy thermometer in the oil (make sure the tip of the thermometer is in the middle of the oil and not touching the bottom or it will read hotter than the actual temperature of the oil). Heat oil to 370-375F (187-190C).
-
Once oil is heated, portion about â…“ – ½ cup of batter into a liquid measuring cup². Slowly drizzle batter into oil in a thin stream, swirling and criss-crossing the batter over itself. Fry on each side until golden brown (about 90 seconds per side) then remove to a paper-towel lined plate.
-
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
-
Repeat with remaining batter but make sure that oil returns to temperature in between batches.
