- This delicious incredibly easy-to-make homemade funnel cake recipe will immediately bring back all the feels like a child from your county fair.
The funnel cake was invented by German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania in the 18th century. The earliest known recipe was found in a cookbook in 1935. They were always served hot and frequently consumed at festivals and get-togethers. Since they are so easy to make with readily available ingredients and delicious, local fairs and carnivals began to serve them.
The concept of a funnel cake began when the concession stand workers would pour the batter from a water pitcher through a funnel and would make a zig-zag circular motion into a deep fryer. The batter immediately expands into a fluffy dough making it stick together to form a circular-shaped fried pastry. It is then served warm with a lot of powdered sugar sprinkled over top.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 2 large eggs
• 2 3/4 cups whole milk
• ½ stick melted unsalted butter extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for garnish
Makes 8 funnel cakes
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Procedures:
1. Add 4 to 6 cups of oil to a medium to a large size saucepot over medium-low heat until it reaches and holds at 375° Fahrenheit.
2. Next, add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk until completely combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate medium-size bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4. In batches of 3 add the flour mixture to the wet ingredient bowl and vigorously whisk until it is smooth before adding in the next batch.
5. Once combined transfer to a large squeeze bottle with a large open top. In addition, you can do this the original way and transfer the batter to a water pitcher and pour the batter through a funnel directly into the hot oil.
6. Whether you are adding the batter through the squeeze bottle or through the funnel you want to add a total of about ¾ cup of the batter in zig-zag circular motions overlapping the batter to form a large circle.
7. Cook for 90 seconds or until lightly browned and then flip over and cook for a further 30 seconds.
8. Remove the funnel cake and quickly drain it on a paper towel. Garnish with powdered sugar and serve.

You can also serve this up with jelly, jam, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
Can't wait to try this recipe. To be extra safe when cooking with hot oil, move the handle in towards the stovetop so it's not sticking out.
Love your recipes that don’t require fancy ingredients so us commoners can actually make. Thanks, Chef! 🤙
When you start eating the funnel Cake, the expression on your face is priceless!!
Yummiest Funnel Cake! I really like these desserts!
This makes me homesick for the midwest... in a good way.
I thought of making some tommorow because my grandchildren have been coming over in the morning about 10:30. Bless their little hearts coming over like that to grandma's right after breakfast. Children are so sweet in the morning. Anyway I figured I better enjoy it while it lasts. This looks so yummy. Thankyou.
I love when you share recipes like this 😍 I’m a fan of everything you post.
Digging the ideas of the squeeze bottles and use of the tea ball. Whahooo 🎉 its funnel cake time!!!
Powdered sugar or home canned apples, yummy!!!
This channel is amazing. I can't believe there's not 2 million subscribers
Homemade Funnel Cake..Waouw..Delicious yummy....

Thank you for this video! I looooooves me some funnel cake!
Thank you chef I tried it and it was sooo gooood, btw I used Lotus syrup with it and was amaaazing
Lotus syrup. Hmm. Interesting. I guess I'd have to order that online. I always thought of that as a perfume. I hear there is an old woman who lives in Egypt who makes Lotus Oil and she sells it and makes her living. I heard the women use it in their hair. I thought wow what an amazing woman. Such a skill. Syrup though. I will have to look that up.
@@sarahrickman6609 Hi Sara, there is an easy version of Lotus syrup you can make at home, warm a cop of milk and add a cup of Lorus spread to it and keep whisking till its dissolved, sometimes I tend to add more than a cup of Lotus as I like it thick, enjoy 😊
Your use of a condiment holder ingenious. Looks good
I loved the fact. He included the flying cap since we all know things don't always go as planned.
Finally got around to making them 👏🏼👏🏼 thank you sir!
Thanks for giving it a shot!!

Awesome video.. thanks for making this video. Funnel cake is the best
I topped it with melted butter and cinnamon n powered sugar .. It's delicious like cinnamon toast
Living in the city here in Montreal, I don't know about this kind of food/treat.
Looks pretty good. I would probably pour on some Chocolate syrup on that too. Maybe the closest I can think of for a '' county fair, amusement park '' treat would be the BeaverTail. Pretty damn tasty!
Your videos Billy are very enjoyable & informative.
Thank you.

Yay! Now I don’t have to wait until Aug. when our fair starts...I can enjoy anytime. Maybe this weekend for Father’s Day! 😍. Thanks Chef!

FOMING OUT THE MOUTH RN
Can u do elephant ears too? To me that's another fair classic!!!!!😊😊😊
I haven't had elephant ears in a decade or two! ❤
Can you do it with pancake mix and don't have milk, did you say Walter would work too, I'm thinking about making this today April 22th 😊
Does the recipe call for 1/2 stick melted butter (1/4 cup) or 1/2 cup stick butter?
Never actually seen funnel cake before, just heard of it. Had no idea they looked like this. Thought they would look something like baumkuchen.
Pardon my ignorance but what is baumkuchen? Sounds Turkish.
@@sarahrickman6609 It's from Germany. It's a cake with a hole through the middle. You can google it to find out more.
Funnel cakes? Ayight, I'm in...............
Hi chef what type of sauté pans do you use
Can you store the batter? Or must it be used the same day?
Is therw such a thing as over mixing the batter? I made this and it didnt form into ribbons. I feel like i over mixed it. I will try again.
Hello! Just tried making this… the oil bubbles over a lot more, causing the batter to break up to smaller pieces rather than hold a long, connected shape. Also, the batter seemed to take up more oil than I expected…. I’m wondering what could have gone wrong? I double-checked the measurements and everything was mixed correctly. Thanks!
Have you noticed he said that you must use medium to low heat until it reaches up to 375°.
1, You could have had the heat on too high. Toss a little dry flour in the oil before squeezing the batter in. And check again to make sure the proper temperature before you fry the second cake.
2, the batter isn’t thick enough.
This recipe as written is way to thin. Mine did the same thing. I had to add another cup of flour and let. The batter rest an hour, then they were good.
I just had a thought. I think a ketchup condiment bottle would work. Because I don't have a bottle let that.
Lol that's what I use
Can you use selfrising
😍😍😍😍😍😍
LOL use a box cutter next time, I did works great. Or buy a triple nozzle on Amazon.
I guess I won’t be eating healthy today 😂😂
Note cut the tip before putting on top of bottle 🙄
