Ingredients

  • oil for deep frying
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar for dusting
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries for serving (optional)
  • 1 cup cream to serve

Equipment

  • 8 inch Dutch oven
  • tongs

Directions

  • Heat 1-inch of oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)in a skillet.
    Tip: Cooking with hot oil can be dangerous, don’t be tempted to use too much oil otherwise it could bubble over and catch fire.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs, then add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir until smooth.
  • Move the batter to a jug or similar to help pour it into the cooking oil.
  • Pour the batter into the hot oil in the skillet in a random fashion to create the traditional lace-like pattern. Leave to cook on one side.
  • When golden brown, turn the funnel cake over and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
  • When serving, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar, top with fresh strawberries, and finish off with some cream.
