These crispy funnel cake sticks are an easy-to-make, bite-sized version of the classic fair treat. Perfectly golden and dusted with powdered sugar, they’re great for dipping in chocolate sauce, caramel, or fruit jam.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until frothy.
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be slightly runnier than pancake batter.

  2. Heat the Oil:

    • In a deep skillet or large pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature for the best results.
  3. Pipe the Sticks:
    • Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a medium round tip or use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
    • Carefully pipe 3-4 inch sticks of batter into the hot oil, frying only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.

  4. Fry and Drain:

    • Fry each funnel cake stick for about 30-60 seconds on each side, or until golden brown.
    • Remove the sticks from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

  5. Serve:

    • Dust the funnel cake sticks generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel.

Notes

  • Storage: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Dipping Sauce Ideas: Try marshmallow fluff, chocolate sauce, caramel dip, or fruit preserves.
