Notes
This recipe can be used to make funnel cakes. Reduce the flour in half for a crispy funnel cake.
if the batter is too thick for you handle add 1 more tablespoon of water. We don’t want this runny but we don’t want it too thick for you to stir
If the batter is taking longer than 1-2 mins to fry your oil is not hot enough. You may need to reduce the amount of batter you are adding at a time.
We want these to cook pretty quickly so you aren’t left with an oily taste in your mouth.
The batter is NOT very sweet. The sweetness comes from your toppings.
Quick strawberry glaze:
1 spoonful Strawberry jelly or preserves.
1 tbsp milk
2 tbsp powdered sugar
Add to bowl. Stir well. Drizzle over top or use as dipping sauce
Pour over top
