King Baker's Recipe #6: FUNNEL CAKE

RECIPE #5: Funnel Cake

Ever go the the carnival or the local fair, or a local theme park and get the classic Funnel Cake? I know I have and tastes SO GOOD! I've always wondered how it was made and if I could make it at home. Well, With this recipe, you too can make the classic carnival treat! 

The Equipment you will need is:
1x Large Pot with Vegetable Oil filled HALF WAY up.
1x Whisk/Spatula
2x Bowls
1x Funnel Cake Spout/Pourer (I don't have one, so I just used a small measuring cup that has a little spout and a handle.)
1x Baking Sheet lined with Paper Towels


Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 10 Minutes

Ingredients:
1 3/4 CUPS of Milk
2 1/2 CUPS of All Purpose Flour
2 Eggs
1/4 CUPS of Granulated Sugar
1/2 TSP of Salt
1 TBSP Baking Powder
1 TSP of Vanilla Extract
Vegetable Oil for Frying
Confectioner/Powder Sugar


Procedures:
1) Fill your large pot halfway with oil and allow to get really hot. (375 works best)

2) In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, place it aside.

3) In a separate bowl, add milk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix together. Add the wet ingredients in with the dry. Whisk together until combined. The batter should be slightly/if not exactly like pancake batter. If it's too thick, Add a little more milk.

4) Place some of the batter in your funnel cake spout/pourer and/or your measuring cup with a spout. Start pouring into your very hot frying pot in circles and zig-zags.

5) Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. They should be a very deep golden brown and crispy. Afterwards, take them out and place them on the paper towel lined baking sheet.

6) Let the Funnel Cakes drain on the paper towel and top it with Confectioner/Powder Sugar.

*7) If you want, you can add anything you want besides Powder sugar. You could drizzle chocolate, strawberries, bananas and more!

These are best served right away. Enjoy this wonderful treat!! :)
