Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pancake Mix I used Krusteaz
  • 1 cup water
  • 3-4 cups oil I used vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Mix equal parts pancake mix and water.
  • Make sure there are no lumps, whisking it I find works well.
  • Place mix into a plastic squeeze bottle.
  • Cut the tip-off of the bottle so that a smooth and steady stream of the mix can easily come out.
  • Heat cast-iron skillet filled with about 2 inches of oil until it reaches 350 degrees. I use a thermometer, that way I can keep an eye on the temperature of the oil as often as I'd like.
  • Squirt the pancake mix into the hot oil.
  • Cook until golden on each side.
  • Drain on paper towel.
  • Dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

this recipe can be adjusted to make any amount of funnel cakes you'd like. Make them big or small to accommodate your needs.
