Funnel Cakes - So Simple to Make - Sooo Good Served Warm
Funnel Cake Ingredients:
1 C. flour
3/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 egg
1 cup + 1 T. milk
2 T. sugar
powdered sugar (optional)
Topping:
-strawberry slices with strawberry syrup, and top that with ice cream or whipped cream. Could also use apple pie filling sprinkled with cinnamon. Toppings must be warmed.
Directions: Get a medium sized funnel
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl with wire whisk. In another bowl, beat egg and milk. Add sugar, stir to dissolve. Add dry ingredients and (using electric mixer) beat until smooth.
Heat at least 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees F. in either in a deep fryer or a skillet. To form each funnel cake, place one finger over hole in bottom of funnel. Carefully fill funnel with batter. Over hot oil remove finger and allow batter to drop into oil. Make circular or other shapes with batter. Cook for 1 minute and using tongs or two spatulas turn funnel cake. Cook until golden brown, about another minute or so. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional) add toppings. Serve warm.

ReplyDeleteI am so happy you all liked the funnel cakes.I remember buying them at the fair and wondering how they made them. I loved mine with strawberries and cream too with a dash of strawberry syrup. I can't eat them now but whenever I go to a fair, I remember the taste.
ReplyDeleteThe heat seems to be a little less now.It's still pretty muggy though. Things are starting to mold from the humidity, including Nana.I'll have to take her outside to air her out. Pretty dull day here, still trying to get better...See you soon...Be happy...Hugs
