We love fried funnel cake
We loved it! we only ate half the batter made 4 sandwich plate sizes. I suppose at the fair you get a large paper plate size. I had to add another 1/2 cup of milk or so and batter was still slightly thick I think. But they were amazing!
I saw it serves 6 so I made it, and then I saw just how much batter it makes! we had funnel cakes for dessert two nights in a row, which is fine because they’re SO good. The batter seemed a little too thick to flow nicely, so I added a little more milk to it to thin it out better and it worked like a charm! Instead of my funnel, I loaded up my pancake batter dispenser and it made a cleaner job of making these. This recipe made 11 funnel cakes for a fraction of the price of ONE at the state fair and my family loved them just the same as the fair cakes.
OMG Yum!! I could eat about 8 of these right now!
