State Fair Funnel Cake
State fair funnel cakes is a nostalgic treat that can easily be made at home! Light, crispy, sweet and covered in powdered sugar.
Servings: 3 funnel cakes
Ingredients
- 1 egg large
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- powdered sugar for topping
- oil for frying vegetable or canola
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl whisk egg and all the wet ingredients. Add in all the dry ingredients except the powdered sugar. The batter shouldn’t be too runny or too thick. If too thick gradually add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency. If too runny gradually add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until the desired consistency.
- Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. There should be a good amount of oil in the pan because it needs to be deep-fried. At least 2 inches deep.
- Once the oil is hot using a funnel, squeeze bottle, or measuring cup, quickly pour in the batter in a circular and kind of zig-zag motion. You want to make sure the funnel cake is connected all together but not too thin or too thick. If you’ve had funnel cake before you know what I mean.
- Fry until golden brown on each side. This should take a few minutes per side. No more than 5 minutes in total.
- Plate and sprinkle powdered sugar on top, as much or as little as you want. Eat and enjoy while it’s hot!
