Make Funnel Cakes at Home

I havent been to a state fair in a FOREVER but every year growing up wed go to one held at our local catholic church. Different than state fairs, they were actually held in the fall to raise money for the school year.

My favorite part of any fair is the food; its so fun and unapologetically bad for you. Ive been wanting to make homemade funnel cakes for a LONG time and since I live pretty far from a state fair, I figured itd be worth it at home.

The hardest and most annoying part of this recipe is heating up the hot oil. This is why I generally dont fry things at my home. Doughnuts are the only exception. And now, funnel cakes.

The batter could not be more simple. Its very similar to a pancake batter but instead of pouring it on the griddle, you pour it into a funnel and into hot oil.

You seriously cant mess this up! Just be sure to drown the funnel cakes in powdered sugar. Thats a requirement.
