Easy Funnel Cakes

Made this recipe for my kids last night and they were a hit! I did have to add more milk as it was a bit thick and I also added more sugar to make the batter a bit sweeter. With that they turned out just like the funnel cakes you get at the fairs/carnivals, etc! They were delicious and very easy to make.

I made these for myself, my husband & 3 year old as a treat. They were so good & easy to make!! I made mine in a deep skillet. I modified & used a cup of milk instead of 2/3 cup, 4 tablespoons of sugar instead of 2 & they turned out perfectly :) Love it & I will definitely make these again.

I Think that is was great all it really needs like everyone say more milk and more sugar.

These were soooo good! I couldn't make them fast enough for everyone. They were really easy to make and delicious.

I made this as written, and thought it was flavorless. The milk does need another 1/4 c or so to get the right consistency. I would double the salt, sugar, and add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I halved the recipe and ended up with 4 medium sized cakes.

Great recipe, used 3/4 cups of milk instead of 2/3s. Worked Great, not going to spend the money at the carnival anymore for Funnel Cake.

thank you soooooo much i loved it and was a big hit with the family (and they thought i was bad cook be4 trying this) i never gave any1 this recipe in my family cuz i wanted to be the star but dont worry i mentioned sum 1 gave it to me ! i added 3 tbsp sugar instead of 2 and added a bit more milk like every1 said and served it with icing sugar, vanilla ice-cream and the supreme strawberry topping i got frm this site. i wud give it 10 stars if possible!!!!!!

I had some fresh strawberries to use up so I decided to top some funnel cakes with them. I made a small alteration to the recipe and added vanilla to the batter. I poured the batter in a piping bag and added it to the oil. I sprinkled powdered sugar on some of the cakes and I also made up a powdered suger glaze to top the rest.

This recipe was easy to follow. I used the batter and put my own ideas into making it. Check out my recipe: "Funnel Cake" Bites!

I have made this recipe 6 times now with no changes. I love the recipe size; it serves my family of 3 exactly- one each for the ladies and two for the hungry man. I added a shake of cinnamon to the last batch and was quite pleased. These are extra special served with a fruit compote in the center and topped with whipped cream. So far, I've used strawberries, pineapple, raspberries or cooked apples. This is a popular treat for our family. I forgot to sift my flour one time before I measured it and the batter ended up too stiff. I simply added about 1/3-1/2 cup additional milk and a dash more baking powder and they came out great. It must be a very forgiving recipe! If you happen to have an 8" cast iron skillet, it's the perfect size for frying these. It only takes about 1 cup of oil, as opposed to the quart of oil called for in the recipe. Thanks for sharing Luv2Shop!

i thought they were great. really easy to make. thanks.

It was alright. The batter was a little thick and could have been a little sweeter, so for future reference add more sugar and a little more milk.

So yummy with fresh strawberries.

Funnel cakes didn't stick together so it was like individual strands. Had to add a LOT of extra milk to even make it flow-able. Seemed too dense, and salty. There are much better recipes.

I made these today and they were absolutely amazing i did add some extra milk for the right consistency and some vanilla extract. these were great. Thank You

these were delicious! just needed to add a splash more of milk to make it a good pouring consistancy.

Great recipe, I actually make zeppoles instead by dropping spoon fulls of the batter into the oil and then tossing them in a bag of powdered sugar. It's a simple recipe with things I always have on hand at home.

I used this recipe to make deep fried zucchini. It was wonderful. I did have to add some more milk because the batter was thick like others had said, but other than that I thought it was perfect. I kept the sugar content the same since I was putting it on veggies, but even if I wasn't I liked the way it was and wouldn't change it even if I was doing the funnel cakes!

I used Vanilla Almond Milk instead of regular milk and added more since I got the 'thick' problem as well. It also helped to sweeten the funnel cake. I used 3-4 tbs of sugar too....

Nice! We loved those... At first I couldnt get the right temperature, but then it was good. Thanks

Wasn't sweet enough...

Yum. Yum. Yum! This tasted just like funnel cake from the county fair. My boyfriend was in heaven! I added a little extra milk like others had suggested and it turned out great!

I like this recipe because it has sugar as an added ingredient and its enough for 5 mini-regular sized funnel cakes. I suggest adding vanilla and we preferred them crispy.

I love this recipe, turned out amazing!!

yummy!

As written, which is the recipe people SHOULD be rating, this is just a two star at best. As noted by even those who rate it 4-5 it needs more milk, more sugar and cinnamon. As written it is too thick, and pretty tasteless.

Made these one Sunday evening as a snack for the boys and they inhaled them :)

So good! So easy! I wish I never found this recipe. I haven't deep fried anything in my kitchen for YEARS and now I want to make this 2 nights in a row. Uh oh!

These turned out great! I'm still in the process of making them with my best friend, but we're eating them as fast as they come out - DELISH!

I made it for my fanily and they loved it so much i had to make 50 of them.top of with a delish powdered sugar and sprinkles

Made them the other day, They were perfect. Better than the fair. Were really good with fresh strawberries.

sooo good and easy to make. Followed some suggstions and added cinnamon which I think elevated the flavour. Served with strawberry syrup, fresh cut strawberries, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It was a HIT!

Yummmm!! I did add a little more milk and a little sugar and they turned out deliciously!!! All my kids loved them as well as my husband and myself.

VERY Tastie!!! I actually used 2 1/2 tbsp of sugar... but it was great! Quick and easy!

THIS WAS EASY, AND FUN.

Yummy! I thought it was really good, I added a little more milk aswell. I topped it off with cinnimon, strawberry sauce and vanilla ice cream... excellent !

The best funnel cake recipe we've found! My family loves them, though for all of us we have to double or even triple it.

I made one bout a week ago they were to die for had to add more granulated sugar for batter but I will not be spending money going to the carnivals or fairs and will not wait when I can make it myself.

Hmmmm, did I just miss it but happened to the vinegar? The batter was way too thick.

The recipe was really great but I did tweak it just a little. I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, just enough for my taste, not overpowering. I added a little water to make it pour easier. I didn't measure, but it may have been 2 - 3 teaspoons.

I can't believe how easy it was to make funnel cakes!! No more waiting for the county fair to eat one. I can make them right at home. I followed the suggestions of others and added more milk so it wasn't as thick. Also added 4 tablespoons of sugar. Topped them with powdered sugar and Supreme Strawberry Topping from Allrecipes a well.

i liked it very much. very easy to make and perfect size.

I always forget to take pictures but the kids and adults loved the home cooked county fair treat! Thanks for sharing

Quick easy everybody loved them

Taste amazing and really easy to make definitely doing again.

Delicious@!

Just a question, could you use a small fry daddy instead of the skillet to make these? I intend to make them with my grandkids - sound delicious! Thanks! Linda

Followed the recipe it was yummy and would make it again

Followed the recipe as indicated and the funnels came out great! Makes about 4 luncheon plate sized funnels.

I went with a carnival themed birthday for my toddler and needed carnival food. What's a carnival without funnel cakes or as we call them, elephant ears. THESE WERE A HUGE HIT!!! I couldn't make these fast enough for all the people at the party! I made this recipe as is and had no trouble the day of the party trying this for the first time. Easy, simple, and oh so delicious!

Yum yum

Quick, easy and very yummy!

Family loved it! Came out great with 1 cup of milk and with 4 tablespoons of sugar instead of what's called for.

liked it

I had to add more eggs and milk because from the beggining recipe it was like pizza doe

I haven't made these,but the recipe sounds like Spanish churros.Which I have bought and eaten in Tenerife and they are delicious.

I am very interested in making this recipe

Everyone loved it!

I would make it again. And I don't agree with those who said the batter needed more sugar! With the powdered sugar on top it is perfect!

very easy very good

This recipe was ok I had to add more milk all together is was like 1/4 cup more . Next time i will use 1 cup of milk together. great recipe ever!!!!!!

This recipe needs a lot of milk versus the small amount it shows. I modified mine to be more liquidity so that I'm able to spread it all over like the funnel cake I buy at fairs. I'm assuming they mixed up the amount of flours and milk. When I followed the recipe exactly it was way too thick. After modification it was wonderful. Thanks.

love love this recipe!! I've made these quite a few times and my family just loves them!! I do add a little more milk and sugar, like other reviews stated.

Stuck to the recipe. It was good. Not too sweet.

Would not make any changes, and I would definitely make them again!

Made this came out great. The kids gobbled it up.

Tasted great. After reading the reviews, I add a bit more sugar (we love sweet things) and a bit more milk. This recipe made 4 large funnel cakes. Doubling recipe next time. Thx

I only give this 3 stars because we've all had to edit it by adding more milk and more sugar. 1 full cup of milk 1/4 cup of sugar And I also added 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract for flavor. They came.out so perfect!

any way to avoid deep frying. a healthier alternative

very good

Soo good!!

No changes and it was great my family love them

Made this for my kids and they loved it

I increased milk to one cup and doubled the sugar. Topped with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar. Would definitely make it again with the changes.

Someone was reading my mind when this recipe was emailed to me. Added a little more milk than was in the recipe. All I was missing was the sound of the Carousel at the fair, Deeelish

I made this yesterday as a desert after supper, and I felt like I had died and gone to heaven after eating it. I will definitely be making this many more times. Thanks for the recipe!!!

I always put vanilla in my batter. I found that this was way too bland and the vanilla really gives it the flavor of the fair, I think. Just a suggestion that works well for us!!

it was super easy to make and didn't take many ingredients very good

To thick

Next time I'll add a bit more milk so the batter flows more readily. Other than that, thumbs up!

Everything turned out great, nice and golden brown

Definitely add extra milk sugar and I also added cinnamon. Came out great!!

I followed the directions step by step. The batter was too thick, and it had no taste. Let's just say it ended up in the garbage. What a waste of ingredients. I wouldn't recommend this recipe...try another.

I substituted vanilla cinnamon coffee mate creamer instead of milk (about 1 cup) and a cap full of vanilla. Sooo delish!

Followed the recipe as indicated and the funnels came out great! Makes about 4 luncheon plate sized funnels.

I added 2 tsp of lemon extract to the mixed batter, and it gave them a light lemony flavor, very tasty! This recipe was great, very simple!

What most are saying, mix is too thick. I added water to mine and a touch of vanilla extract. Best funnel I have ever eaten.
