Description
A simple and delicious funnel cake made with pancake mix, offering a quicker and easier way to enjoy this classic fair treat at home.
Ingredients
2 cups pancake mix
1 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot (350°F or 175°C), pour the batter into a funnel or a squeeze bottle. Hold the funnel over the hot oil and pour the batter in a circular motion, creating a spiral shape. Fry for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
- Use tongs to carefully flip the funnel cake over and fry the other side for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is kept at the right temperature to ensure even frying.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar for the authentic fair-style flavor.
- You can use a squeeze bottle instead of a funnel for precision when pouring the batter.
