    When I worked at an amusement park, I remember I got transferred from the normal building I worked at to a spot that mostly sold funnel cakes for the day cause they needed extra people. I remember we had some temp employees that showed up for the day and there was this older Filipino guy that worked with me at the funnel cake station. When I first tried it I remember swirling it around, and he told me that if I did it that way, it wouldn't sit right/fall apart or float away, so he showed me the zig zag method in layers. We also used those rings to make sure we had proper circular shapes so that they can get topped with cherries, powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate. That guy I worked with was pretty cool, I'll never forget that day.

      She is clearly a nice person who is very aware how lucky she is to have accidentally become a fulltime professional CZcamsr. People starting on CZcams now court controversy to get views, Emma's channel grew organically. She isn't the only one, but as more and more people plan CZcams as a career that natural unexpected pleasure that she gets in producing her content to bring simple pleasure to her viewers is unfortunately becoming more rare.

    Edit: I always clean out an old Heinz ketchup bottle and use it for my batter. Works well if you don't have a funnel or to store any leftover batter. Also, a bit of cinnamon in the batter is ah-mazing.

    As a Northeastern Pennsylvania resident, we have funnel cakes all year round, but even more so in the summer and fall. Powdered sugar is the most traditional topping, but you should try it with granulated sugar and cinnamon!! That’s my favorite. 😋
    In the fall it’s delicious with freshly baked apples & cinnamon as well. 😋
    You can use pancake batter, but in my area you can also buy funnel cake batter pretty much anywhere...it usually comes in a bottle with a squeeze top and you just add water and shake. Then fry it up for yummy goodness!!!

    There's a fair in my hometown, but since it was canceled this year, some of the food stalls have been set up in different places around town. They also recently built a drive in theater on part of the fairgrounds. It's not quite the same of course, but I like seeing the little reminders of our normal fall traditions.

Originally about Ploughing, ane it still is, but now it's this giant fair of national and international business farm machinery sales, to every type of farmers market sales you can probably think of, the list goes on and on, and it lasts for I think five straight days Wednesday to Sunday, in generally a different location in Ireland every week.

    Funnel cakes are a staple at our reenactments. You can find us surrounding the food truck waiting for them. Sure, we get gripe that we're not eating salt pork and hardtack. But an old saying we reenactors have, "If they had them back then, they would've used them!" and then eat.

    @marymoomey5011 Před 4 lety

    Yes Emmy! We make funnel cakes all the time at my house using a complete pancake mix and a washed out chocolate syrup bottle to dispense the batter. I had a friend who used to work the fair every year. One year she worked the funnel cake truck and told me that those people use pancake mix, because all you have to buy is the mix and water, it's cheaper and easier and they don't have to worry about their recipe getting copied. That's when we started doing it at home!

    Hi, "Where's my funnel"Been to the Fairs that have funnel cake. A co-worker always bought & took it home. I went w/my Wife & asked Her to share w/me & She said No, so I've never had it. I'm fat & know if I were to get it ppl would look like She does not need that. I've never gone to fast food by myself. A co-worker worked fast food I said after I drove away You guys would talk about How I didn't need that & laugh She said Yes. I said w/out even knowing I have a family at Home.😷Stay Safe🤗Hugs🐽Warm Fuzzy✌Peace❤Love, Sheryl

    Emmy! I come to realise we have a funnel variety in The Netherlands as well! In the northern part, the provence of Frysland they have ”drabbelkoek”. It is a crispy cake of a very thin drizzele in hot oil. These little ”cake” is draped over a ball shaped item when still warm so when it cools it hardens in a somewhat hollow form.
    Yummie I looooove them!

      Donuts where a typical Christmas thing in the past but not any more, the closest I can think of now are crispy waffles baked in an special iron- eaten with jam and whipped creame ( yummy!!)!

  • @tessie7e777

  • @yalissa73
    @yalissa73 Před 4 lety

    Man I so want one now.
    A funnel usage trick : place the handle end of a wooden spoon to sit into the funnel opening. To use: set in cup and fill, hold with one hand while the other lifts the spoons slightly up ( don't remove as it'll create mess) to allow the batter to pour down. Drop the spoon back down to stop. This isn't too messy and keeps your hands clean.

    In Germany it is called Rosenküchle, because it kind of looks like a rose. We dip rose shaped iron in the dough and afterwards in the oil. That is how we make Rosenküchle in Germany.
