Homemade Funnel Cakes
Here's exactly how to make homemade funnel cakes! You only need a few basic ingredients to get started.
Ingredients
Instructions
Pour oil into the pot set over medium heat. Heat to 375°F (191°C). I usually prepare the batter (next step) as the oil is heating.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until no lumps remain.

Special Tools (affiliate links): Large Heavy Bottomed Pot or Dutch Oven | High-Heat Thermometer (or this one) | Glass Mixing Bowl | Whisk | Cooling Rack | Baking Sheet | Funnel, Liquid Measuring Cup, or Squeeze Bottle | Metal Slotted Spatula
Oil: The amount of oil really depends on how wide or tall your pot is. You want oil to fill about 1/3 of the pot. I use a little more than 1 quart for my 4 and 1/2 quart Dutch oven.
Leftover Oil: Do not pour used oil down the sink drain. Allow to cool, then pour into an empty container and discard in the trash. Or reuse it.

We really enjoyed this recipe! We stirred cinnamon into the second half of the batter, and while it was very good, I think I prefer it plain. Maybe next time I'll add cinnamon to some of the powdered sugar as a topping option. It took a little practice to get the shape right... I initially used a container with a spout lid that was too big and ended up with fried crumbles, although they were still equally as tasty. But I switched to a proper funnel and it was easier. Definitely will make again!
Very easy and fun to make these! Delicious with just a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar.
