What is a Funnel Cake?

Funnel cake is a light, thin batter that is fried until golden and topped with powdered sugar or other toppings. These fun treats are often served at fairs and carnivals. Most people don’t realize just how easy these are to make at home!! If you can whip up pancake batter, you can make funnel cake batter.

How to make Funnel Cakes at Home:

How to pour batter for funnel cakes: The name funnel cake actually comes from the fact that the batter is typically poured into a funnel and then poured into the hot oil. There are other options though if you don’t have a funnel.

Funnel: Find a funnel with a ¼ inch hole, hold a finger or thumb over the hole in the bottom, pour the batter into the funnel, then release the batter over the oil. Pour the batter into a swirl, criss crossing back and forth. Measuring Cup: add the batter to the measuring cup and pour the batter in a slow and steady stream into the oil. Squeeze Bottle: make sure the lid has a hole about ¼ inch wide to allow the batter to flow easily. This is my favorite method, it’s super easy to fill the bottle and make one after another before having to refill!

Pro Tip: After pouring the batter into the oil, you may notice the batter sinks to the bottom of the pot, just leave it there, let it cook and it will loosen as the batter fries and release allowing you to easily grab with tongs and flip.

How to Top Your Dessert:

Powdered sugar Syrups/Sauces: Chocolate syrup, strawberry sauce, caramel. Whipped Cream Sprinkles Fruit: add some diced strawberries, blueberries, or bananas.
