Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups 7 Up (lemon-lime soda)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the 7 Up and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking to create a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy to prevent burning.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into a squeeze bottle or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off to simulate a 'funnel'.
Step 6
Carefully squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a circular, swirling motion to create the classic funnel cake shape. Fry in small batches, one cake at a time, for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried funnel cake to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to maintain the oil temperature for consistent results.
Step 9
Dust the funnel cakes generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm!
