Funnel cakes are quick, pourable fried treats that are very popular in North America. The batter is poured directly into hot oil (traditionally through a funnel, but it\u2019s much easier to use a bottle with a small hole), then fried and served sweet. They\u2019re incredibly quick to make and require very little effort. Depending on how you pipe the batter, they can be thicker and fluffy or thinner and crisp. They taste a bit like doughnuts or faworki (angel wings) \u2013 everyone here had a different opinion :). It\u2019s no coincidence that similar treats exist in Poland as \u201clany chrust\u201d or \u201clane faworki\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Makes about 20 (approx. 17 cm each).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for funnel cakes:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 1\u00be cups milk<\/li>\n
• 2\u00bd cups plain flour<\/li>\n
• 2 eggs<\/li>\n
• \u00bc cup sugar<\/li>\n
• a pinch of salt<\/li>\n
• 1\u00bd teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or vodka)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and lump-free (a hand blender works as well). The batter should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.<\/p>\n

  Additionally:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • rapeseed or coconut oil, for frying<\/li>\n
  • icing sugar, for dusting<\/li>\n
  • a small plastic bottle (500 ml) with a hole (about 5 mm wide) in the lid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Pour the batter into the bottle and close it.<\/p>\n

    Heat oil in a small frying pan (about 20 cm diameter) to a depth of around 3 cm and a temperature of about 175\u00b0C. Holding the bottle over the oil, pour the batter in a spiral motion from the outside towards the centre, adding a few swirls for shape. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.<\/p>\n

    Serve dusted with icing sugar (or with cinnamon sugar, chocolate, whipped cream and fruit).<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n
