Funnel Cakes (Quick and Easy Snack)

December 16, 2019 By Victoria

If there a quick and super easy recipe that every kid would craze about, it’s the simple funnel cake that we all indulge at the fairground or festival. Greasy, sweet yet appealing are all we should remember.

Funnel Cake

Making funnel cake can’t be super easy and no, you don’t need a funnel for that. You can use anything from a peri bottle to a piping bag and just drizzle the batter into the hot oil.

The recipe is based on a 1:1 ratio of egg and flour. Baking powder is added to help them fluff and crispy. The only varying ingredient is milk, which approximately two-third to a cup depending on how your flour reacts. Start with mixing a half cup of milk then increasing gradually until the batter is thin enough to pipe/drip but not too runny.

I left the oil for deep fry blank so you can customize depending on the saucepan being used with. In the video, I just used a small skillet with enough oil to deep fry small size ~6 inches cake. This is a perfect portion for our family, but if you want ginormous like the fair, just use a larger pan.

Customizing wise, I think I could change the extract for a different flavor. It’s always Vanilla for the basic, but I’ve used mango, strawberry, green tea…and they all come out great. Food color? They [the cakes] are going to be yellow tint from deep-frying anyway, I could make the color deeper but not much on the pastel line.

Shape wise, they can be anything you want, from drizzling, funneling (tradition way), dipping, pouring in, coating other stuff inside?… all work out well enough.

It’s really fun, try it, and let the kids enjoy as snacks or on a day out.
