If you want a quick dessert that feels a little special, funnel cake sticks are the way to go. You can make them in minutes, and the whole batch disappears before you know it. It’s a treat that everyone will love!
How to Make Crispy Funnel Cake Sticks
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until you get a smooth batter.
Heat the Oil: Pour about 2 inches of oil into a deep skillet or saucepan and heat to 350°F (175°C).
Pipe the Sticks: Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a round tip. Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe 4-5 inch strips of batter into the oil.
Fry Until Golden: Fry the sticks for 2-3 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Dust and Serve: Generously dust the fried sticks with powdered sugar and enjoy warm!
How to Serve Crispy Funnel Cake Sticks
Serve these crispy funnel cake sticks warm, fresh from the oil, and generously dusted with powdered sugar. Arrange them on a large plate for sharing, and consider pairing with fun dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or berry compote for extra flavor.
They’re also perfect for casual gatherings, so you can serve them in small paper bags or cups for easy handling. Just add a dusting of powdered sugar, and they’re ready to enjoy!
