We where missing out this year on our annual funnel cake at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It was so weird having an actual Spring Break and not at the rodeo this year. It’s so easy to make funnel cake at home not to mention it doesn’t cost a fortune with all the topping add-ons! Bring on the Summer memories!
DIY State Fair Funnel Cake
(Adapted from tbsp.)
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups Bisquick™ Original baking mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Powdered sugar, for topping
Pour oil about one inch deep into a large saucepan or stockpot. Heat over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 350°F to 360°F.
Meanwhile, combine Bisquick™, milk and eggs in a large bowl; stir until well mixed with as few lumps as possible. Pour the batter into squeeze dispenser bottles for easy pouring into the hot oil.
When oil is fully heated, carefully squeeze batter in a circular motion, close to the oil, until a mini funnel cake forms (don’t make more than 2 cakes at a time). Fry 30 seconds on each side until golden brown, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
Repeat with remaining batter, making sure oil temperature stays within 350°F to 360°F.
Let the cakes drain and cool slightly on a paper towel-lined baking sheet or plate. When all the cakes are fried and slightly cooled, sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.
