Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups 7 Up (lemon-lime soda)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the 7 Up and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking to create a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy to prevent burning.
Spoon the batter into a squeeze bottle or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off to simulate a 'funnel'.
Carefully squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a circular, swirling motion to create the classic funnel cake shape. Fry in small batches, one cake at a time, for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried funnel cake to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to maintain the oil temperature for consistent results.
Dust the funnel cakes generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm!
