Ingredients
- 1 liter canola oil
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Heat canola oil in deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in eggs and milk. (Use 1/2 cup of batter for each funnel cake.) Pour 1/2 cup batter through funnel into hot oil, moving in a circular motion as you do so, to make each spiral-shaped funnel cake. Fry each spiral of batter until golden brown, about 2 or 3 minutes, remove with tongs and lay on paper toweling to absorb oil. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle powdered sugar through a sieve onto top of hot dough. Serve immediately.

Reviews
This recipe was fantastic. I can’t wait to make it again. To add a little flavor, I added a bit of vanilla extract. Yummy!

I followed the recipe as written but added cinnamon and vanilla. The funnel cakes were really good but I would have liked the batter to be a little sweeter (but it was nothing a little extra powdered sugar couldn’t fix). I’ll half the recipe next time. It yielded about 8 large funnel cakes.
THIS IS THE BEST FUNNEL CAKE RECIPE BY FAR! I made them for my husband and his brother’s family and it like just like being at the fair! We ate them hot and nobody had to share or pay $8 for 8 cakes!! —-ROBERT ROCKS!!!——
Fabulous recipe! I made them a bit smaller than the average sized funnels. The cake rises and fries beautifully, especially in my cast iron! Whatever you do, don’t try the recipe on another site using butter. Nasty!
it was soo easy and the funnel cakes came out delicious! I just added some vanilla and melted butter.
Me and my girls loved it! It was simple to make yet very tasty. Will be making it often.
My cousin and I made this recipe two days ago! We both were in the mood for dessert and not anything basic. This recipe was simple and easy to make! it was very tasty and light. We also made our own homemade strawberry sauce to add to it! It was good, we surprised ourselves.
Very tasety, very easey and simple to make.
Very delicious recipe, just like the State fair. Becareful to not pour too much batter. Thanks Mr. Irvine :-
