on May 05, 2014, Updated Jan 01, 2024
It’s Fair Food at Home Week and this Funnel Cake Recipe is going to save you $$’s at all those fairs this summer. I am getting super excited for all of the festivals to start here in Cincy. Each year the whole summer is filled with festivals each and every weekend. The best thing about fairs and festivals is the food, especially Funnel Cake. I LOVE enjoying all the foods that we can enjoy when the fairs and festivals are in full swing. This year I have decided to share some of my favorite fair food recipes with all of you. My kiddos are HUGE Funnel Cake Fans and this recipe has been great this winter to enjoy Fair Food when it was not available. I am looking forward to it saving me big $$’s this summer too!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
3 1/2 cup Flour
3 Eggs
1/4 cup Sugar
2 cup Milk
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1 quart vegetable Oil (for frying)
DIRECTIONS
Combine salt, baking powder and flour in a bowl and set aside.
Cream eggs, sugar and milk in a large bowl.
Add flour mixture to wet mixture and beat until smooth.
Batter needs to be thin enough to pour.
Heat the oil to 375 in a heavy skillet. Make sure the oil is at least 1 – 1 1/2″ deep.
Use a funnel, squirt bottle or plastic bag with the corner clipped to dispense batter. Each funnel cake should use about half a cup of batter.
Pour batter into oil in circular motion overlapping itself.
Fry until golden brown then turn over carefully and fry other side for one minute.
Drain on paper towels, sift powdered sugar over cake.
From time to time I would purchase funnel cake in the frozen foods area at GFS. The cost around $1 each when you break down the price per box. Cheaper than fair foods but still crazy expensive for a snack. So this Funnel Cake Recipe is going to save us quite a bit this summer. Be sure to drop back by CincyShopper every day this week for a new and fun Fair Food Recipe.
