Gluten Free Funnel Cake

Recipe #187546 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

If you are like most of us Celiac's you drool in envy every time you go to a fair or Fun Park at the smell of fresh cooked Funnel Cakes. This recipe is a variation of several Fair Funnel Cake recipes and everyone who has tried it can't believe that it is gluten free. It is a must for every family and it is very easy to make.

SERVES 5 -7 , 5 -7 funnel cakes (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

What you will need for cooking

  • oil (for frying, canola or vegetable preferred)

One of the below toppings

Directions

  1. 1
    On the stove start heating approx 2 inches of oil in a fry pan over medium heat.
  2. 2
    In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and set aside in a sifter if you have one.
  3. 3
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the wet ingredients together until top is slightly frothy.
  4. 4
    Now sift or slowly add the dry ingredients you have set aside into the large mixing bowl with the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  5. 5
    When all ingredients are combined into a smooth creamy mixture it is time to cook.
  6. 6
    Check your oil temperature, take a small drop of batter and drop it into the pan -- It should take just about 45-60 seconds to start browning on one side. Adjust the heat accordingly.
  7. 7
    Use a wide tipped funnel or ziplock bag with a corner snipped off to drop strings of batter into the pan of hot oil to make whatever designs you wish. Cook until golden brown on both sides, remove from heat with metal spatula and place on a plate with wire strainer. Repeat until all the batter is gone.
  8. 8
    Let each cake sit for a moment on the wire rack, then move to a plate and finish with your favorite toppings.

I made this according to the recipe. The funnel cakes were good but very thick and lacking in flavor. The next time, I revised and in addition to original recipe, I added 1/4 c half and half, 1 egg, 1 t. vanilla and used Pamela's GF pancake and baking mix. If you use Pamela's omit the salt, xanthan gum and baking powder. The second batch tasted very much like the funnel cakes you get at fairs!

    Most delicious gluten free dessert I have ever made! Plus, all the gluten eaters in the house also loved it! It made me feel like the state fair had set up camp in my house.

    WOW. Just made this recipe. I used my own standard GF flour blend. Used some half n half in place of the milk. (ran out of milk) but followed the recipe exact. OMGoodness...Everyone loved them! So tasty! Will definately make again and again.
