Super Easy Funnel Cake – A Beautiful Mess

Funnel cake is an essential when it comes to theme parks or county fairs IMO. I love it! Traditionally, it’s made by pouring batter through a funnel into hot oil to quickly deep fry the cake. I believe it’s somewhat regional to areas of the US but I’m honestly not totally sure as it’s very much a staple of many childhood memories for me so it seems universal. 🙂

Making homemade funnel cake is super easy . It’s very similar to pancake batter—we are basically deep frying pancakes!

Ingredients

  • Pancake mix
  • Water
  • Vanilla extract
  • Oil – canola or vegetable
  • Powdered Sugar, also called Confectioner’s Sugar

How to make Funnel Cake

Mix together the pancake mix and water. Add to a squeeze bottle or pour through a funnel.

Heat the oil to right around 350°F or a little less. Then pour the batter in, making a spider web type shape. Wait 20-30 seconds, flip, then fry for another 15-20 seconds. Remove to a bed of paper towels to remove excess oil.

Dust with powder sugar before serving.

Notes & Tips

  • I tried three different store bought pancake mixes. The one that worked best was Bisquick.
  • In the process of testing a few mixes, I learned that it’s all about batter texture. If your batter is super runny, like you could drink it through a straw, it won’t hold together well when you go to deep fry it. You want a thick paste consistency. 
  • I like making smaller, two to three bite-sized funnel cakes as they are easier to maneuver in the hot oil. But you can use this same recipe to make large size funnel cakes, like the fair, if you prefer.
  • It works best if you pour the batter through a squeeze bottle (like the one pictured above) rather than a funnel into the oil. This gives me a little more control as I work.

Notes

You will also need enough canola or vegetable oil for the cakes to float while frying. This maybe 1-2 cups depending on your size pot / dutch oven.
