Homemade Funnel Cake!

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since I blogged about FOOD! I got caught up reviewing my free samples, hahaha! 

But anyway, I just wanted to post my recipe of homemade funnel cake!

Serving size: This recipe can make about 4-6 funnel cakes that are each 4-6in in diameter. 

*** Read the bottom of this post if you are making this for 1-2 person(s) *** 

 

Ingredients :

- Funnel 

- Cooking oil 

- 2 cups flour

- 2 eggs 

- 1 and 3/4 cups milk

- 1/3 cup of sugar 

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 2 tsp baking powder

- 1 tsp vanilla extract 

- Chocolate Syrup (optional)

- Powdered Sugar (optional)

- Vanilla ice cream (optional) 

Directions:

1) In a small pot or frying pan, heat your cooking oil to 375F or on medium heat. Cooking oil has to be at least 1/2inch high. For better results, use a deep fryer. 

2) In a big bowl, mix dry ingredients together. 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 salt. 

3) Pour in 1 3/4 cup of milk and mix. 

4) Crack in your 2 eggs and mix completely. 

5) Add in your 1 tsp vanilla extract

6) Mix everything until there are very few lumps left. 

7) This is optional, but I like to pour in the batter in a liquid measuring cup because it has a spout. You don't need to do this, but it's helpful. 

8) When the oil is hot enough, get your funnel out and pour the batter into the top so that the batter drips out on the other hand. You will need to maneuver the funnel cake in a circular motion or back&forth to create a circular cake shape-- about 4-6inches in diameter or up to your preference in size. 

9) If you're using a pot/pan, wait until the bottom side has turned to a golden brown, then flip the funnel cake to get both sides golden brown. About 3-5min depending if your oil is hot enough. 

** If using  a deep fryer, deep fry until both sides are golden brown. 

10) Once the funnel cake is golden brown, take out and remove excess oil by placing it on a wire rack or paper towel.

11) Drizzle chocolate syrup and powdered sugar on top for an extreme HEART ATTACK! jk. 

12) Not shown in this picture (because we ran out =[)... But add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it hella bomb !!!

THANK YOU FOR READING!!! 

Yummmmmeeeehhh!!! 

*** IF YOU DO NOT HAVE POWDERED SUGAR, try my homemade version (shown in this recipe), just one cup of sugar to one tablespoon of corn starch! Grind in a blender or food processor! BAAAAM! ***

GOT TOO MUCH BATTER LEFT?!!

I did too! 

What I did with it??? 

DIPPED OREOS INTO IT! 

Deep-fried Oreos!!! 

My little brother had some "Heads & Tails" Oreos (the one that has part golden and part chocolate biscuits), so bam! More heart attack food !!! 

Warning: Since the batter called for baking powder, the "dough" surrounded the oreo tastes cakey. But IT'S STILL DELICIOUS!!!
