Carnival Funnel Cake Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a 8 to 10 inch fry pan with oil (about 1/3 to 1/2 of the pan full of oil) and heat to frying temperature.
• Combine the ingredients in order given.
• Get a regular cooking funnel. Put your finger over the funnel spout; fill the funnel with the batter.
• Start letting the batter funnel out in a criss-cross until all batter in funnel is gone. Batter will come together and cook until golden brown in about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side. remove and top with what you want (when cooking make sure you make the batter cover the whole bottom of the pan--just keep criss-crossing until all holes are filled in).
• Repeat with remaining batter. Makes 8 to 10 large cakes.
• Toppers for the cakes after cooking: Dust with powdered sugar or powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon. The carnival also uses canned pie filling such as apple or any flavor you want.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients; transfer mixture to a plastic zip-top bag or air-tight glass jar.
• Include the following instructions: in a mixing bowl, beat 1 large egg and 1 cup milk; add in funnel cake mix and beat until smooth.
• In a frying pan, heat oil (1-inch depth) until 375 degrees.
• Pour batter, 1/2 cup at a time through a funnel into the hot oil with a circular motion to form a spiral.
• Fry until golden; turn to fry the other side.
• Remove funnel cake to drain on paper towel lined plate.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar while warm.
• Note: takes a little practice to get the hang of it.

Steps:

• Mix in eggs and Coca Cola and stir until a smooth batter forms.
• Preheat oil in a skillet or deep fryer.
• Pour 1/3 cup of batter into a funnel or turkey baster and in a circular motion pour batter into the hot oil.
