Every time we go to the amusement park we have to order one of these. They are crispy yet fluffy, sweet but not too sweet and is great with all sorts of toppings. I like mine with powdered sugar, strawberry sauce and whipped cream. Sometimes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients:
Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/3 cups Milk
1 Egg, beaten
Strawberry Sauce:
1 pint Strawberries, quartered
1/3 cup granulated Sugar
To Serve:
Whipped cream
Powdered sugar
Instructions:
Make the sauce first. In a large bowl, add strawberries and sugar. Cover and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes until strawberries are juicy.
In a pot over medium heat, add about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, add flour, powdered sugar, salt, baking powder, milk and egg. Mix to combine, and transfer to a large squirt bottle (I used a ketchup bottle from the $1 store).
Squirt batter into the oil, moving from side to side and in spiral motions. Cook until set, about 1 minute. Flip over and cook until light golden brown. Remove to a wire rack.
Top funnel cakes with strawberry sauce, whipped cream and powdered sugar. And ice cream if you are in the mood!
