Theme Park Funnel Cake

So you may have been to the redondo pier, or a major theme park and seen this wonderful pastry/donut/waffle thing called Funnel Cake. Maybe you’ve even been blessed enough to try this american delicasy. It would be hard to miss - it’s smells incredible and tastes even better!! After trying many different batters, I have come up with this fail safe recipe. This one is easy and fun! you just need a funnel or a pastry bag with a small tip.

In a dry mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the following:

4 Cups of cake flour (or regular white flour)
1 Tblspn Baking powder
1 Teaspn salt
1 Cup brown sugar

In a separate bowl combine the following:

2 1/4 Cups Milk
3 whole Eggs
1 tsblspn Vanilla extract

Combine both wet and dry ingredients and mix together.

Heat up a few quarts of Vegtable oil in a large pot or saute pan. Make sure that you have at least 2 - 3 inches of oil in the pot. Heat the oil up to 375F-400 Deg. and drop the batter a funnel or pastry bag. Start at the edge of the pot and move in circles to get the desired “Birdnest” Effect. Try to be as consistant as possible. It make take a couple practices, but at least your mistakes are still delicious!!
Once your funnel cake has reached a golden brown, remove it from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.
While still warm, you traditionaly sprinkle the top with powdered sugar to create a wonderful glaze. If your really adventerous - top it off with some strawberry jelly and whipped cream!
