Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil or shortening for frying

Equipment

  • - Mixing bowls
  • - Skillet with deep sides
  • - Slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla.
  3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while continuing to whisk together until no lumps remain.
  4. Transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle, a piping bag, or a plastic bag (snip the corner off when ready to add the batter to the oil). Set aside while heating the oil.
  5. In a skillet with deep sides, add oil to a depth of 1½ to 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F.
  6. Squeeze the batter in straight lines into the hot oil. You can use your finger or a pair of scissors to cut the stream of batter. Pipe as many fries as you can fit in the oil.
  7. As soon as the bottom side of the fries turns golden brown (about 20 to 30 seconds), flip the strips over to cook the other side.
  8. Remove the cooked funnel cake fries from the oil with a slotted spoon. Place fries on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
  9. Continue cooking the funnel cake fries.
  10. Serve funnel cake fries hot, dusted with powdered sugar, granulated sugar, whipped cream, and/or sliced strawberries/strawberry sauce. Caramel or chocolate sauce are other popular dipping sauce choices.

Notes

- Make sure the oil is at the right temperature (350°F) before frying to achieve the perfect texture.
- Use a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or plastic bag to pipe the batter into the hot oil for easy handling.
- Customize your Funnel Cake Fries by experimenting with different toppings and dipping sauces, such as caramel or chocolate sauce, to suit your taste preferences.
