Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a piping bag with a small round nozzle for easy squeezing.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains the proper temperature.
Once the oil is hot, carefully squeeze the batter into the oil in a circular, web-like pattern. Fry for about 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Once all funnel cakes are fried and slightly cooled, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy your Drechter Kucha Funnel Cakes!
