Total TimeĀ 40Ā minutesĀ ServingsĀ 14Ā 4 inch mini cakes
Ingredients
- canola oil
- 2 cups flour all-purpose
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Fill a 12- to 14-inch cast-iron skillet halfway with canola oil. Heat oil over medium-high to 375Ā°F, and maintain temperature throughout frying.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk, vanilla, and eggs in a small bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, and whisk until well combined. (A few small lumps are okay.) Pour batter into a large squeeze bottle with a 1/4-inch opening or a wet measuring cup with a spout.
- Hold bottle 1 to 2 inches above hot oil, and squeeze about 1/4 cup batter into oil in a circular motion, crossing over lines to create a 4-inch cake. Repeat process twice, to make 3 cakes. Fry cakes until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. (Fry no more than 3 funnel cakes at a time to help control oil temperature.) Drain cakes on paper towels. Repeat process with remaining batter to make 14 cakes, making sure oil returns to 375Ā°F between batches. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
