When I started on my baking journey, I took requests from my family. Funnel cake was on the top of the request list and they didn't stop asking until I got around to making it.
Even though it is called a funnel cake, it is actually classified as a fried cookie.
Recipe:
- 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 cups Flour
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 3 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 2 cups Milk
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
You will need a funnel large enough to hold a cup of batter and a deep fryer or heavy skillet.
Sift 1-1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder together. Mix the eggs, sugar, salt, and milk together. Add the flour and baking powder mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in more of the remaining flour until you have achieved the desired consistency—a batter thin enough to run through a funnel, but thicker than pancake batter.
In a deep fryer or heavy skillet, heat the oil to 375 degrees. Place you finger over the hole in the bottom of the funnel and add 1/2 cup batter. Hold the funnel close to the oil, remove your finger, and release the batter into the hot oil while making a circular motion. Fry until golden brown. Remove the cake and place it on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
