For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If you don't have a funnel, you can use a pastry bag or even a plastic bag with a small corner snipped off. Be careful not to overheat the oil, as this will cause the funnel cakes to burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Pour enough vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to reach a depth of about 1/4 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers (approximately 5 minutes).
02 Step
Recipe View 2 mins In a blender, combine the flour, sugar, water, milk, egg, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If the batter appears too thin, add additional flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a slightly thicker, yet still pourable consistency (approximately 2 minutes).
03 Step
Recipe View 1 mins Cover the hole of a funnel with your finger. Slowly pour the batter into the funnel. Once the funnel is full, position it over the hot oil. Release your finger and gently swirl the funnel in a circular motion to create a lacy pattern as the batter flows into the oil (approximately 1 minute).
04 Step
Recipe View 4 mins Fry the funnel cake until it is golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip the cake with a slotted spatula and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the other side is also golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
05 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter (approximately 2 minutes per cake).
06 Step
Recipe View Dust generously with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately. Enjoy!
