Canada's Wonderland Funnel Cake
Funnel Cake
Ingredients
2 large eggs, room temperature 250ml 2% milk 250ml water 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 400g all-purpose flour 52g sugar 3 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt Oil for deep frying (enough to cover funnel cake) Confectionery (Icing) sugar Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients eggs, milk, water and vanilla extract until well blended. Slowly combine dry ingredients into wet until completely mixed and there are no lumps. Do not over mix and make sure mixture is smooth. Pour mixture into a pitcher or squeeze bottle. In a thick-bottom pot, heat oil to 375°F. Test oil by dropping a small spoonful of batter in oil. If it rises to surface quickly, oil is ready. Hold the jug or squeeze bottle with the funnel cake mixture 3-4 inches above the oil (wear an oven mitt for safety). Pour about 1 cup funnel cake mixture in a spiral motion. With a slotted spoon carefully fry each side about 2 minutes until golden brown. (Be careful not to splash hot oil) Remove funnel cake and drain excess oil on paper towels.
