A quick and easy homemade fried dessert featuring crispy funnel cake fries dusted with powdered sugar, perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (canola or sunflower oil recommended)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and vanilla extract until smooth (about 1 minute).
  3. Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix; batter should be smooth but slightly lumpy. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C), about 2 inches deep.
  5. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip with batter. If using a plastic bag, cut a ½ inch hole in one corner.
  6. Pipe 3-inch long strips of batter directly into hot oil, frying in batches without overcrowding.
  7. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove fries with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined cooling rack.
  9. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Do not overcrowd the fryer to avoid soggy fries. Use a thermometer for consistent frying. Let batter rest before frying to activate baking powder. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend with xanthan gum. For vegan, substitute eggs with flaxseed egg and use plant-based milk.
