Ingredients
Scale
Batter:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Batter Preparation: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
- Frying: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the batter to a piping bag or squeeze bottle with a medium tip. Carefully pipe 3–4-inch sticks into the hot oil, frying a few at a time without overcrowding. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serving: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the funnel cake sticks to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, mix cinnamon into the powdered sugar or serve with dipping sauces like chocolate or fruit preserves.
- Best eaten fresh for maximum crispiness.
