Description

Crispy Funnel Cake Sticks bring all the fun and flavor of a fairground favorite right to your kitchen. Each golden stick is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, dusted generously with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness. These funnel cake sticks are easy to make, shareable, and perfect for satisfying your carnival cravings at home.


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

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth.
  4. Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
