Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth.
- Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Batter for Frying: Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle with a wide opening or a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
- Fry Funnel Cake Sticks: Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in long, thin strips, frying a few at a time. Cook each strip for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Dust: Remove the funnel cake sticks from the oil with a slotted spoon, letting them drain on paper towels. Dust the hot fries generously with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Batter Control: A squeeze bottle or piping bag makes it easy to create uniform sticks, but you can also use a spoon if needed.
- Crispy Finish: Make sure the oil is at the right temperature to achieve a golden, crispy finish.
- Toppings: Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence!
