Funnel cake

A name which arouses curiosity and a cake which looks so unique that even the most discerning foodie will not be able to resist one bite of it ! The first (ahem!) bite reminds you of a sugar donut…same principal,deep fried flour batter,dusted with powdered sugar,quite scrumptious ! I first tasted this sugar confection while strolling down a theme park and the locals were clamouring for it…Now something that has such a long queue waiting for it,just needs to be looked into, experimented with, savoured and shared…sigghhh the sacrifices that I make for R&D ;)))…well,all I can say is, it is a taste worth experiencing and it looks really very fascinating,nothing like what you and I would call a ‘cake’,that’s for sure !!!

Funnel cake

Like donuts,you can change the toppings to taste,this one was served with a drizzle of chocolate sauce,the other options were honey,caramel sauce,blueberry sauce and strawberry sauce…with the icing sugar,of course !

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl,beat the eggs
  2. Add to the eggs,milk,water and vanilla essence and mix until well combined
  3. Combine in another bowl the flour,baking powder,sugar and salt
  4. Now,whisk it gently into the egg mixture to avoid lumps in the batter
  5. Mix until you get a smooth batter
  6. Heat oil in a deep dish
  7. Drop a cube of bread in,if it turns golden,the oil is hot enough for deep frying
  8. Cover the bottom of the funnel with your finger and ladle about half a cup of batter into the funnel
  9. Now position it high above the oil ,release your finger and move funnel in a spiral motion until all the batter is used up...Repeat for the remaining batter.
  10. Same technique as making jalebis,i guess !
  11. Fry for 2 mts on both sides until golden.
  12. Remove and drain on paper towels
  13. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
  14. I would love to see a pic of your funnel cake when you make it...maybe we could also call it 'tunnel cake' for little boys,certainly reminds me of tunnels and mazes !!!
