Fries, corndogs, ice cream, pizza, and funnel cakes are foods that we typically think of when it comes to boardwalk foods. While funnel cakes are typically only seen at the beach, carnival, and fairs you can make this sweet dessert at home with just a few ingredients in 15 minutes! Here’s how to make funnel cakes.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs, room temperature 1 cup 2% milk 1 cup water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt oil for deep-fat frying confectioners’ sugar

I have a confession… I only go to the fair for the food. All that fried, yummy, not at all healthy for you goodness.. I can eat it all (except the donut burger — I can't get up the courage to try that one, though I've heard it's delicious). Aside from fried oreos, funnel cakes (also called fried dough) are at the very tippy top of my must-eat list. That powdered sugar covered, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside deliciousness is something dreams are made of. For years, I've been buying the boxed funnel cake mix. It's easy and most only require you to add water and stir. But recently, without a box available, and our funnel cake craving growing by the day, we decided to try to make them from scratch. I honestly can't believe how easy it was and how incredibly delicious they turned out. I’m sharing the recipe today on the blog (just click on the link in our bio or swipe up in stories).

Instructions:
Beat eggs in a large bowl and add milk, vanilla, and water until mixed well. In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and beat in the egg mixture. In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375 F. With your finger, cover the bottom of a funnel spout and ladle 1/2 cup batter into the funnel. Hold the funnel above the oil and release your finger while moving the funnel in a spiral motion until all the batter is in the skillet. Fry until golden brown, 2 minutes on each side. Drain with paper towels. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve warm.
