- Funnel Cake is a classic fair favorite! Deep-fried to perfection and then dusted with powdered sugar, you won’t believe how easy it is to make this at home with just a handful of ingredients! You can enjoy this theme park classic year-round at home.
RECIPE: preppykitchen....
Summertime is not complete without enjoying a funnel cake, and now you can make your own at home. They are so addictive as freshly made ones are light and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. You will have so much fun making these and watching the batter puff up into a swirled cake.

It’s all about the size of the hole at the bottom of the pastry bag! Small holes create small, shoestring sized pieces that don’t expand, but instead become dense & greasy, whereas a large hole of course creates bigger pieces that expand & get fluffy & pillowy! Nothing better than a fresh, hot & pillowy funnel cake with a light dusting of powdered sugar! (chef’s kiss) 💋
I JUST WATCHED JOSHUA WISEMAN'S VIDEO ABOUT FUNNEL CAKE AND I WANNA MAKE IT YOU ALWAYS READ MY MIND!!
Perfect timing 😀
Me too
Same. If Babish comes out with a funnel cake video tomorrow, there's definitely a conspiracy happening!
Same
Sameee Lolll
I just made these for my wife and they were amazing!!! Poured a little of my homemade strawberry jam, from our garden strawberries, over them, after a dusting of powered sugar. LOVE this recipe.
Just want to say thank you for this. As a non-American, I've spent decades thinking funnel cake was actually a slice of something like sponge cake. I always envisaged Americans wandering around state fairs munching happily on a slab of oddly-shaped cake that was baked in a funnel mold.
I've had an American internet friend for more than 20 years - and for more than 20 years he's been making (bad) jokes about his wife's addiction to funnel cake. And for more than 20 years I've been thinking (but not saying): "Oh give the woman a break. There's nothing wrong with a slice of cake and a cup of coffee. In fact, in many places around the world, it's considered the epitome of a civilised way of taking a break in the afternoon. Much as I love you, friend, it's not as if she doesn't deserve a break from you from time to time."
And then I watched this and discovered I've been an idiot for at least 20 years.
I hasten to add that it's not a bad thing discovering that I've been an idiot. Suddenly, the world - and my friend - make a lot more sense.
So, thank you again. It's a tremendously pleasant feeling to suddenly understand something.
(I'm still not going to laugh at my friend's jokes, though. His wife's clearly a martyr who's spent the last 30 years of her life doing charity work by not divorcing him and his jokes!")
I make these fairly frequently as its super fast when your about to have your evening tea or coffee and the urge for something fried hit you.. So a little tip, I just use a zip lock bag and snip a corner off.. The other is I use a small 8 inch saucepan I have with just about 4 inches of oil.. So this way you don't need too much oil and however you pipe it in you get uniform rounds which are the perfect size.
That is a desert we make in Trinidad called Jalabi. Our forefathers brought this delicious desert from India. Ours is dipped in simple syrup
Jalabi is love ❤️

I love this. We don't really have funnel cake in Australia so I love that you gave us an easy and precise recipe to try at home!
About the home made funnel cakes. I used to take my kids to county fairs in other states when they were 12-14 years old like you said a lot of fairs are no longer so yes now my kids are coming home from military and college break. ]we are ready for something sweet, comfort food that we love to create memories but in a short period of time. When my kids are by themselves they can prepare this. Thanks for the recipe. Your tutorials are very informative and motivational. Thank you for your warm hospitality that you bring to CZcams through your live instructionals from my family to yours God bless.
Just made this. Recipe is spot on and delicious. I made 2 plate size ones. I used the outside of a 9” spring form pan to maintain my circle. They came out so perfect. My granddaughter is going to love this when I make it for her very soon. Thank you for the recipe and demo.
I’ve been a chef for many years, your stuff is excellent. I’m still learning new techniques.
My fiancé and I made these last night on a whim for a cozy indoor movie night and you sir have earned a new subscriber! Easiest yummiest treat. Up next? The cinnamon rolls 🤤
🤤🤤🤤 I love a funnel cake! My granny and I used to split one when the carnival came to town.
His voice is Soo calming 😭😭😭😭, I think he's a great husband and Dad
mos deff him deh, cud si him kid spill sumting n him jus chuckle n seh oh shoot its okay bwoy, dis dudez solid
Girl ain't nobody care
Mr John, I made your cannoli for my family last year thanksgiving and it was a hit! So when my co workers were craving funnel cake I knew I had find a recipe! I am so pleased that you have a video! Keep up the good work 😊
powdered sugar was always a favorite classic topping. I only remember having it with strawberries on top like you get at the faire. I was just telling my husband I miss cotton candy. This is inspiring me for my birthday coming up. I'm wondering what other classic faire foods I could replicate at home.
all of dem, wid di internet a dollar store n a likkle elbow grease anyting can be made inna home n its always betta n cheapa too sista
As a non American I've only ever seen funnel cakes referred to in movies. So definitely very keen to try it out after watching this. Thanks John!
🙀 no sweat lol
It's 3 in the morning right now...my kids and I woke up wanting to snack😂...I JUST made these. I used a tiny pot though. I also added an additional 3/4 cups of water to thin my batter out more... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Your recipes NEVER fail me❤...
Ice cream on funnel cake is amazing. There's a food truck in Houston called The Funnel Bar that puts so many different toppings on funnel cakes including ice cream. Made me love funnel cakes even more.
A restaurant in my town has "funnel fries" on the dessert menu. Fry shape and size rather than disks and served with both white chocolate and raspberry dipping sauces.
I can’t eat foods like this but i sure enjoy watching you make them. And then I hope one day I’ll be cured and canmale some of your recipes for myself.
why cant yuh eat it? i know tricks fi mek dem diabetic frendly
I am in England this is the first time I have heard of funnel cake ,we definitely don't have it here. I always learn something new on this channel, thanks.
That's basically jalebi 🥺 except we dip our funnel cake in a sugar syrup.
It would need some syrup right?
@@PreppyKitchen yes its dipped in sugar syrup
@@PreppyKitchen yes we call it chaashni but it's basically sugar syrup. Then we top it off with rabri which is a cold condensed milk based dish.
I still prefer funnel cakes over jalebi any day
funnel cakes are also a lot lighter and a lot less dense than jalebi!
I just made these. Perfect amount, I got about 6-8 medium sized ones. Delish flavor, I did add a splash more of milk to thin out the batter, and a dash of cinnamon and a few drops of maple extract for extra flavor . Amazing texture and carnival style! I’ve tried many funnel cakes recipes in past and this one was the best and prettiest
I watched joshua weissman yesterday but I always like your presentation more easier for me.Thank you
Looove funnel cakes! Top with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, fresh berries or other fruit and whipped cream, maple syrup, honey and chopped nuts (prefer walnuts or pecans)...you just can't go wrong. I know what I'll be making this weekend. Great vid as usual, John!!
Thank you so much for the video, you are a life-saver. My youngest was very unhappy to not be able to get funnel cake while we were out Christmas shopping, but making it at home was even better. I am very happy with the results.
And so 1h after I think hmmmm I am tired of plain old South African Vetkoek (Fat cake - so basically you fry up circles of rolled out bread dough in oil and fill it with eg. Jam and cheese/ minced meat / hamburger patty and usual burger toppings) and you boost my energy with this recipe. Thank you ❤
Could you pls give the recipe
One of the reasons why i keep coming back to your page! My kids and friends loooove all the Amaaazing desserts I made from your recipe! When they asked how I learned to make it, I said I have found the best culinary instructor/vlogger named John Kannel 🥰 will definitely try this one later 🤩
I use cinnamon sugar to top mine and call it “Elephunnel cake”. A combination of “Elephant Ears” and “Funnel Cake”.
Sometimes I top mine with baked apples and caramel and those I call “Apple Frunnels”. Again, a combination of “Apple Fritters” and “Funnel Cake”
Both are equally delicious!
John, you’re killing my summer dad bod.
F
He’s turning it into real dad bod

That looks absolutely delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland ♥️ Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
You are correct! They are fantabulous!
Perfect timing finding this video. The kids have been asking for funnel cakes. We eat them with powdered sugar. For a special treat, I sometimes top them with strawberry pie filling and a bit of whipped cream.
Joshua Weissman, coincidence? 😂
noticed this! haha
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅
I just was thinking the same thing 😹!
Right? Lol
Noticed same thing.haha that’s funny
I used to eat them at a flea market in New Jersey, where they were made by real, live Amish people. They were The Best!
Still do, and this is a staple at festivals along with zeppoles.
Just used this recipe with my wifey and kiddos. So simple and tasted fantastic... Everyone crushed them. Also as a side note... Love your stove.
I started making funnel cakes for Christmas breakfast a few years ago. I love using a combination of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. That way we can each get the fruit we want. We top it with whipped cream, caramel, and chocolate ice cream sauces.
i made this today and we finished it in literally 2 minutes thank you so much for doing this i subscribed to your channel because i love your videos
i think the main difference between funnel cakes and jalebi is jalebi has yogurt and yeast in the batter and its left to ferment overnight, so it naturally becomes hollow when fried at the right temp (i have failed every time i tried at home). indian sugar syrups are measured by taar (thread) not temperature.. jalebi and boondi ladoo are both 1 taar.. the syrup has some lemon to keep it from crystallising, saffron and cardamom.. i think the persians call this zalabia
Your voice and personality keeps us engaged. Simple recipe can't wait to try it 😋
I’ve been making funnel cakes for around 35 years. Kids love them. Me, too.
I made this funnel cake recipe exactly how you said to & it was more than amazing !!
I love funnel cakes!! It just brings me back to my childhood and carnival food!! I always had to have it just before leaving each time with some power sugar, ice cream & strawberry sauce. So DELICIOUS!! 💕
I made some and put powdered sugar, a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzled caramel on top soooo good.
Nutella, powdered sugar and whipped cream are my favorite toppings as well as cherry pie filling.
NUTELLA FTW!
A mixture of cinnamon and brown sugar dipped of both sides before cooling leaves a nice sweet taste to compliment the funnel cake

Thank ypu so much John for shering this recipe i just made some and plan on starting a business, you can use a mascaepone as a top layer
I made Funnel Cakes today and my husband loves it. Thank you John ❤️😘
Looks great! I love the funnel cakes at the fair that come from a larger funnel. It's crisp on the outside and light, fluffy inside.
Those are (or were) the typical dessert sold to tourists in Southern Tyrol - they call it "Strauben" there. While also dusted with powdered sugar, the main difference seems to be that they're poured in a shallow pan as a spiral and meant to be shared among 2-4 people. I think lingonberry jam was also on the plate (essentially lingonberry is substituted with cranberry in North America) and we mostly had a "Brettljause" with the local ham as dinner before (so a warm dessert to follow a cold dinner).
Om just found this walked in my kitchen started pulling out ingredients as i paused video and back n fourth great directions min were perfect thanks so much
My family and I ate funnel cake at an amusement park. Now my son wants me to make some. Thanks for the nice video.
Just made this recipe! It turned out so good! My husband was so happy 😁
mi wife gettin tired a dem, mi mek 36 up at a time ahaa
I am going to try making these tomorrow! Powdered sugar is the ONLY way to go in my opinion. That's how I had my first funnel cake decades ago and it didn't need all those unnecessary toppings people dump on them nowadays!
I ate funnel cake with strawberries and ice cream yesterday and OMG it was so good
I eat mine with Cherry pie filling, a light drizzle of chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar😍😍😍 It is addictive
Yum. Funnel cake is something I always enjoy getting at the amusement parks and carnivals! My favorite thing to get at carnivals. Thanks for the recipe John. Looks so good! 😋🎡
As a kid..I wanted to surprise my parents with this recipe and
its DELICIOUS brings back so much memories from Disneyland 😅☺️😃
Thank you sm!
At Canada's Wonderland they have funnel cakes topped with icing sugar, vanilla ice cream and strawberries 🤤
at home yuh can top dem howeva yuh want aha
Delicious. I used honey glaze though but honestly, it tastes good by itself. The dough has just the right sweetness, and the flavor that the egg gives is superb. Doing it again
Dust your funnel cake with powdered sugar and then drizzle some melted peanut butter on it - it tastes so good!!! The saltiness from the peanut butter pairs so well with funnel cake 😋
Sounds good
I didn’t know peanut butter would melt. Thank you! Never thought of that.
I've also added cocoa powder to batter and also made cinnamon in batter...both are yummy
I will try this recipe. I have been using ready mixed pancake batter with sugar and melted butter added. I put it in a plastic ziplock bag and clip the corner and sqeeze it into hot oil
🍎 I did these when I taught 4th grade. We did it as a pioneer treat. I gave the kids the option of powdered sugar or spicy sugar (sugar + cinnamon, clove, and ginger) NEITHER really "pioneery." This activity required several parents to help with the funneling... several pots of oil, and yards of paper towel. It was aways a HUGE hit. Funnel cakes or "Elephant Ears" are a big deal at the Indiana State Fair.
Look delicious! In Ontario Canada they are piped into large oval shapes and called Beaver Tails. Hoping the fall fairs will be open to enjoy this year. We are having Christmas in July this year so I may follow the deep fried turkey with these babies!
Because I have multiple disabilities, I'm worried about my comfort and safety. So as a result, I would use a deep fryer, that which has temperature control built into it. The sweet treat, is called a funnel cake here in the United States and Canada and possibly in Mexico, although they might call it by something else in South America. Furthermore, in other countries and contients, that there are definately different variations which are very similar to the funnel cake, not only in Europe, but also in The Philippines. I just know that the funnel cake originated in Pennsylvania's Dutch country around 1879. It was made of yeast of first but that they later came up with the baking powder version. Thank you for sharing this dish with all of us at home! My favorite toppings, are apple and powdered sugar!
This recipe is awesome! I had to add a little bit more milk because it was to thick. Apart from that, this one is one my favorites!
Same here. Had to add more milk.
Thumbs Up thanks for showing me how to make funnel cake
This looks delicious thank you for amazing recipe
Thank you Lalli!
First time I tried funnel cake was @ KNOTTS BERRY FARM 2 years ago(im 47 btw)....loved it and I'm going to try your receipe...you make it look super easy...wish me luck🤞
Me and my mom were just talking about making funnel cake! Definitely trying this recipe!
Hope you enjoy!!
With strawberries and whipping cream at our state fair!! Love! ❤️💕🥰
I love them with sweetened diced strawberries and whipped cream!
We love funnel cake with sprinkled icing sugar all over, then in the middle a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, and finally some yummy strawberry sauce that has chunks of strawberries in it 😋
Funnel cake with the apple pie filling is awesome. Or cherry filling. Whip cream & strawberries. I love em all.
I love my funnel cakes with vanilla ice cream 🤤🤤🤤
When our boys were small, we’d take them to the amusement park and they had funnel cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, covered with strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Best part of the trip for me 😜
Ur a legit chef. I think a series on everything mason jars. Like pickling canning etc. Also easy to do charcuterie stuff. Simple curing meat etc. Then u will have just about everything covered.
we didn’t use all purpose flower and our funnel cakes turned out amazing😮 🎉 everybody loved them, we had a house party. thanks for asking.
I live near Knott’s and Disneyland so they’re funnel cakes to me. And we’re purists; plain powdered sugar is enough indulgence for these.
And congratulations! You have posted a recipe an ordinary mortal could actually make! It’s much more fun to get them at a fair or park but failing that, at least they’re attainable treats.
I've seen funnel cake vendors down here in the South display a choice of toppings: various pie fillings, ganache, ice cream, and the usual sweet sauces (choc, caramel, strawberry, blueberry, etc). Warm blackberry compote is my personal favorite. Regardless, it's not a true funnel cake unless you're wearing it or otherwise making a serious mess! ;-)
John, I loved eating funnel cakes at Sea World in Texas. I will make these for my grandsons. Tracey from Austin Texas👅😜
the way he point at the pastry bag, trying to "order" it to stay put. I do it too! As if those things would actually listened and stay 😂
Nothing better than just plain funnel cake and powdered sugar...simple and classic
Funnel cake is the best. I'm sure this is delicious, but nothing and no one beats Knott's Berry Farm's funnel cakes. 😋
Thanks for your video. When you crunched into the funnel cake and that look on your face of satisfaction..I must try this. 😋
Hey! Watching from Copenhagen , Denmark. Love your vids and the way you make everything look sooooo easy. Those cakes look yum! 😍
thanks, John just made these for my husband and kids they came out delicious.
Using this recipe to make funnel cakes and fried chicken!!!!! Thank you!
So glad you did this video. I’ve been craving Funnel Cakes but the last time I tried to make it, I failed miserably! I can’t wait to try it!
Ice cream funnel cake sandwich. Two funnel cakes with vanilla ice cream in the middle so delicious.
John, these are divine❤ My 9 yr old neice is coming to visit all the way from Iowa to NC this weekend & I'm going to make these again & yes, they're ALL for her 😉😉😉😆
I love ur small giggles 🤭 it’s awkwardly addictive and makes me smile too
We have a different recipe for this here in India but we call them jalebis. They taste awesome with rabdi. Maybe these will too!
Funnel cake is my favorite treat to have at the fair! I usually just have it with a ton of powdered sugar, but I saw a video where Josh Weissman made a churro one with cinnamon sugar and carmel and id love to try it that way. ❤❤❤
With vanilla ice cream 🤩 HEAVEN 🤩
I'm in Australia and your lemon tart recipe video appeared by chance yesterday. I've never heard of funnel cake, but I feel cinnamon sugar sprinkled over would be good 😋😊
cinnamon suga n chocolate stuff deh di best pon dem fam yuh right
@@rasjay93 what lol
I love funnel cake! This looks so good. 😊
At the strawberry festival they pile on strawberries in like a syrupy sauce. But I like it just with the powdered sugar.
I use my Honey Bear(empty of honey and rinsed)to pour out batter....works great ❤
We make them and put whip cream and strawberries on top. Messy but sooooooo good
