• Powdered Sugar

Directions

• Preparing the Funnel Cake Batter

• Making the Funnel Cake

  • Fill your shallow fryer to the recommended level with vegetable oil and heat to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the funnel cake mold in the fryer.
  • Pour batter into the mold from a funnel cake pitcher, starting with a circle of batter near the outer edge of the mold, then making a zig-zag overlapping design touching the outer edge circle.
  • For multiple colors in one cake, alternate pouring colors from separate pitchers.
  • Do not overfill mold since the batter will expand as it cooks.
  • After approximately 30 seconds remove the mold and turn the funnel cake over with tongs to achieve a golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove the funnel cake and let it cool briefly.

• Topping the Funnel Cake

  • Spread a layer of icing on the top of the funnel cake
  • Shake sprinkles generously on top
  • Finish by topping with powdered sugar
