How to Make Funnel Cakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Set the dry ingredients aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 3 inches of vegetable shortening or oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
- Fill a funnel about 2/3 full with batter. Holding your finger over the hole in the funnel, carefully move the funnel above the hot oil.
- Squeeze the batter out of the funnel in a circular motion to create the funnel cake shape in the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Remove the cooked funnel cake with a slotted spoon and place it on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately dust generously with powdered sugar.
