Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour: This serves as the base for the funnel cake providing structure and texture.
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar: Added for sweetness making the treats enjoyable without overpowering their flavor.
  • 1 tsp baking powder: This leavening agent gives the sticks their light and airy texture when fried.
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon: Incorporates a warm flavor that complements the sweetness beautifully.
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg: This spice adds a harmonious depth enhancing the overall flavor profile.
  • 2 large eggs: They help to bind the ingredients together while adding richness to the batter.
  • ¾ cup milk: Milk contributes moisture and creaminess ensuring a smooth batter.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract: The addition of vanilla adds a sweet aromatic flavor to the mix.
  • Vegetable oil for frying: Essential for creating that crispy golden-brown exterior that we all love.
For the cinnamon glaze, you’ll need:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar: The main ingredient for the glaze giving it sweetness and a smooth texture.
  • 2 tbsp milk: Adding milk creates the right consistency for drizzling or dipping.
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon: Enhances the glaze with additional spice flavor.
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract: Complements the sweet and spicy notes of the glaze.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and ¼ tsp ground nutmeg until well combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs, ¾ cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract together until smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the correct temperature for frying.
  5. Pipe the Sticks: Once the oil is hot, use a piping bag or squeeze bottle to pipe 4-5 inch sticks directly into the oil. Be sure to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil’s temperature.
  6. Fry Until Golden: Fry each stick for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they appear golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully turn and remove them.
  7. Make the Cinnamon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and ¼ tsp vanilla extract until completely smooth.
  8. Serve: Drizzle or dip the warm funnel cake sticks in the cinnamon glaze and enjoy immediately!
