Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting after cooking)
Instructions
Layer the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a 1-quart mason jar in the order listed. Gently tamp down each layer to ensure everything fits neatly, and avoid mixing layers for a pretty presentation.
Screw on the lid tightly and, if gifting, attach a tag with the following cooking instructions: 'To prepare funnel cakes, beat together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the contents of this jar until a smooth batter forms. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot. Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or funnel with a small opening, and drizzle in a circular motion into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.'
If making funnel cakes immediately, follow the cooking instructions from the tag above.
Serve the funnel cakes warm and enjoy a taste of the carnival from the comfort of home!
