How to Make Carnival Funnel Cake Mix

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup (240ml) of milk until light and frothy.
  2. Gradually add the entire contents of the Carnival Funnel Cake Mix to the wet ingredients, mixing with a whisk or electric mixer until a smooth batter forms (avoid overmixing).
  3. Heat about 2 inches (5cm) of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  4. Once the oil is hot, pour approximately ½ cup of batter into the hot oil through a funnel, using a circular motion to create a spiral shape.
  5. Fry the funnel cake for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  6. Carefully remove the funnel cake from the oil using tongs and place it on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining batter.
  8. While the funnel cakes are still warm, generously dust them with powdered sugar using the provided shaker.
