Funnel Cakes

Super Bowl SUPER Big Hits


Well, if you plan to fix the recently posted Jalapeno Poppers, and you already have some oil heated (and assuming you gave up on your New Year's Resolution to eat more healthfully...) I would hate to see any good oil go to waste, so why not make Funnel Cakes?!  These are really easy to make, they don't create a lot of dirty dishes and something I bet would be unique to any Super Bowl party!

Funnel Cakes


3 eggs
2-1/4 cups of milk
1/3 cup of sugar
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 Tsp cinnamon
1/4 Tsp salt
2 Tsp baking powder


-Heat oil, at least 1 inch thick in a skillet over medium high heat, to about 375 degrees.  


-In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients first, form an indent in the middle of dry ingredients, add wet ingredients and mix together gently before incorporating with dry ingredients.  Place liquid in a squeezable container (like a ketchup bottle, pancake pen etc) OR place in a pastry bag with a large round tip.
-Batter will be runny.  When oil is hot, drizzle batter in a crisscross pattern to form a 4-5 inch round funnel cake.  Cook until lightly brown, flip and cook again until even in color, place cooked funnel cake on a paper towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Serve warm.
