Homemade Funnel Cake Mix Recipe

Here is the recipe for homemade funnel cakes.

Ingredients: Makes 4 Funnel Cakes

1 Cup Flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 Cup and 1 tablespoon of milk
2 Tablespoons of Sugar
Powdered Sugar or Whatever topping you like
Oil

Here are some of the tools that I found to really help when you make funnel cakes at home.

1. In a Large skillet add about 1 1/2 inches of oil and heat to around 350 degrees. Now in a medium bowl combine the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.

2. In another bowl combine your milk and eggs, make sure you mix the eggs in well. Next add your sugar to this mixture until it dissolves.

3. Add your wet mixture to the flour mixture and beat well with an electric mixer.

4. When your oil is ready (you can check by adding a small drop of the batter to see if it sizzles) grab a funnel and while holding your finger over the hole add the batter. I didn’t have a funnel so I used a cake decorating bag and filled it up with batter. Put your funnel over the oil and remove your finger and allow the batter to go into the oil. Pour your batter out in a circular motion to get that funnel cake look.

5. Cook the batter for about 1 minute and then flip it over with either tongs or a spatula. Cook the other side for about a minute as well. When it’s done place it on a cooling rack or paper towel to drain the excess grease.
