easy homemade funnel cakes recipe ⤵️ Ingredients 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup (236 ml) whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour ▢ Vegetable oil, for frying ▢ Powdered sugar, for dusting ⸻ Instructions 1. Heat the oil: Fill a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan with about 1.5 inches of vegetable oil. Heat over medium to medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, a drop of batter should sizzle and rise to the top immediately. 2. Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract (if using). In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, whisking until smooth and pourable. The batter should resemble thick pancake batter. 3. Fry the funnel cakes: Transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or use a measuring cup with a spout. Carefully drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a circular, criss-cross pattern. Fry for about 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to flip and remove from oil. 4. Drain and dust: Let the funnel cakes drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
