How To Make funnel cakes

  • 1
    In a bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt; whisk to combine.
  • 2
    In another bowl, add egg, milk, and vanilla extract; whisk to blend.
  • 3
    Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth with no lumps in it; set aside.
  • 4
    In a medium skillet over medium heat, add oil to cover the bottom by about 2 inches.
  • 5
    When the temperature reaches 375ºF, slowly pour in a thin stream about ¼ cup of batter, in a circular motion to create about a 5-inch circle, slightly overlapping. Fry until golden, about 1 minute 30 seconds per side.
  • 6
    Carefully transfer the cake to a plate lined with paper towels while frying the remaining batter.
  • 7
    Sprinkle cakes with confectioners’ sugar while the cakes are still warm.
