Instructions
Making Easy Gluten Free Funnel Cakes is straightforward. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Oil: In a heavy-bottom pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.
5. Transfer to a Funnel: Pour the batter into a funnel (or squeeze bottle) with a medium-sized opening. If you don’t have a funnel, you can use a ziplock bag with one corner snipped off.
6. Fry the Cakes: Carefully squeeze the batter into swirling patterns in the hot oil. Fry until the edges turn golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip Carefully: Using tongs, carefully flip the funnel cake to cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
8. Drain the Oil: Once cooked, remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
9. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining batter in batches, ensuring you maintain the oil temperature.
10. Serve Warm: Dust generously with powdered sugar and add any additional toppings as desired.
