Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
- Powdered Sugar for topping
- 4 cups Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Add the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until incorporated.
- Step 2: In a deep frying pan, pour enough oil to submerge the funnel cakes about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 375°F (190°C).
- Step 3: Pour the batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle. Cover the funnel opening with your finger and release some batter into the hot oil in a circular motion to create a spiral shape.
- Step 4: Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and fry for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Step 5: While warm, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and add any desired toppings.
