A quick and easy recipe for crispy funnel cake fries dusted with powdered sugar, bringing the nostalgic county fair flavor to your home kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk the whole milk, large egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking gently until the batter is smooth and thick but still pourable. Add milk by tablespoon if too thick (3-4 minutes).
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot to a depth of about 3 inches. Heat over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C).
  5. Using a spoon or piping bag with a wide tip, drizzle the batter into the hot oil in short, fry-shaped strips about 3 inches long. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  7. Remove fries with a slotted spoon or skimmer and place on a cooling rack over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
  8. Once slightly cooled but still warm, sift powdered sugar generously over the fries.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for best results. Drain fries on a cooling rack to keep them crisp. Sift powdered sugar just before serving to avoid clumping. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady. Batter should be smooth and pourable like pancake batter.
