Ingredients

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 1/3 cup milk, room temperature

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Neutral frying oil (such as vegetable or canola), as needed

Instructions

  1. Heat at least 2 inches of frying oil in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet to 375°F.
  2. Whisk the eggs and milk together until light and slightly frothy.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, sea salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag, funnel, or spouted measuring cup.
  6. Drizzle the batter into the hot oil using overlapping circular motions to form a funnel cake.
  7. Cook until golden and floating, then flip and fry for an additional 45 to 60 seconds.
  8. Remove to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.

Use cinnamon sugar instead of powdered sugar for a spiced variation.

Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.

Batter can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated.

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispness.

Freeze cooked funnel cakes for up to 2 months and reheat from frozen.
