09 -
Vegetable oil (for frying)
10 -
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
02 -
In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, and vanilla extract, whisking until well blended.
03 -
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If too thick, add a little more milk.
04 -
Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 175°C.
05 -
Once the oil is hot, transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or a piping bag with the tip cut off for easy application.
06 -
Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in long, continuous zigzag patterns to create sticks. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
07 -
Remove the funnel cake sticks with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
08 -
While still hot, dust the sticks generously with powdered sugar.
09 -
Serve warm. For enhanced enjoyment, pair with optional dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel.
# Notes:
01 -
You can adjust the consistency of the batter by adding more milk if it's too thick.
02 -
Ensure oil temperature stays consistent at 175°C for optimal crispiness.
