Homemade Funnel Cake

If you liked the funnel fries I posted then you’d love this.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 c all purpose flour

1 large egg

2/3 c milk

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla (or flavor of choice, be creative)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients well and add more milk if too thick. Instead of a funnel use an old plastic squeeze ketchup bottle....easier. Heat a small amount of canola (or vegetable) oil in a small cast iron skillet. Then squirt and swirl batter in oil. Flip when it starts bubbling and turning brown (like when making pancakes).

SPRINKLE WITH POWERED SUGAR

Can also add strawberries, cool whip or any other topping you’d like.

... Read moreMaking funnel cake at home has always been a fun and rewarding experience for me. What I love most about this recipe is how accessible it is—you don’t need fancy equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. Using a plastic squeeze ketchup bottle to dispense the batter is a game changer; it allows you to create those classic swirly shapes quickly without the mess of a traditional funnel. Plus, cooking them in a small cast iron skillet offers excellent heat retention, which helps achieve that perfect golden-brown crisp. One tip I’ve found helpful is to adjust the batter’s consistency if it feels too thick—adding a little more milk makes it easier to swirl out smoothly. And while canola or vegetable oil works well for frying, make sure it’s heated properly; when the batter starts bubbling and browning, that’s your cue to flip it. This method is quite similar to cooking pancakes but gives you that unique crispy texture. Don’t hesitate to get creative with your toppings beyond just powdered sugar. Fresh strawberries, cool whip, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup can elevate the funnel cake to a delightful treat. I also like to experiment with different flavor extracts in the batter like almond or cinnamon for a personalized twist. Overall, this homemade funnel cake recipe brings a little carnival magic right into your kitchen, ideal for a weekend treat or gatherings. It’s quick, fun, and absolutely delicious—perfect for sharing with family and friends!

Really, I just needed the correct thing to squirt the mix out of and I think maybe my oil wasn’t hot enough but all in all it was my fault they didn’t turn out right. The mix is great bc you don’t need eggs. 1 cup pancake mix that only requires water 💦 2 Tbs sugar 1 tsp vanilla flavoring
