Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 quart neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable) for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional dipping sauces: chocolate sauce, marshmallow cream, strawberry jam, or caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the milk and eggs until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick.
  5. Transfer the batter to a clean squeeze bottle or piping bag.
  6. Carefully squeeze the batter into the hot oil in long, straight lines, approximately 2-3 inches long. Fry each side for about 30-45 seconds until golden brown.
  7. Remove the fries from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Dust the funnel cake fries with powdered sugar while still warm.
  9. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is maintained at 375°F (190°C) for optimal frying.
  • For a fun variation, top the fries with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, then broil for 2-3 minutes until melted and gooey.
  • Experiment with different dipping sauces to find your favorite combination.
