Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting after cooking)
Directions
Step 1
Layer the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a 1-quart mason jar in the order listed. Gently tamp down each layer to ensure everything fits neatly, and avoid mixing layers for a pretty presentation.
Step 2
Screw on the lid tightly and, if gifting, attach a tag with the following cooking instructions: 'To prepare funnel cakes, beat together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the contents of this jar until a smooth batter forms. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot. Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or funnel with a small opening, and drizzle in a circular motion into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.'
Step 3
If making funnel cakes immediately, follow the cooking instructions from the tag above.
Step 4
Serve the funnel cakes warm and enjoy a taste of the carnival from the comfort of home!
