69 Reviews of Momma's Fair Funnel Cake

From: cherylo

On Apr 14, 2008

These are Very good. Just like my mom used to make for me. One thing that she did that I find VERY helpful is to take an empty ketchup bottle, clean it out really well, and use that in place of a funnel. it is easier to use, less messy, and when you dont need any more batter, just snap the lid shut! VERY easy.

    Oh my Gosh! They taste exactly like the fair. I'm the cook of my family and I'm the fourth child of 8, so this was fun to make because i love to cook and because everyone loved them. This was a fun recipie to make. Here's a tip: make sure the oil is hot but not too hot, or else they might brown very dark real fast. A way to tell if the oil is hot is to wet your figertips with water and splash the oil. If it boils immediatly, then the oilis hot, and if it takes more than 3-6 seconds, then you should let it heat a little longer. Good Luck and Enjoy! Also try Lois's Lucious Layered Fudge, Recipie #55153. Enjoy!

    Now this was just FUN!! Fantastic recipe...tasted like I was at the fair. Kids went NUTS over them and were begging for more! Very easy to make. Next time I think I will go all the way and make lemon shake ups too!! Only problem I had was my funnel opening was too small for the batter...but we compromised and used something else. They still turned out great!! (I will be buying a bigger funnel though!!) Thanks for the great recipe

    I work at a nursing home and do the activities one thing we do is try new recipes. The residents love these funnel cakes and look forward to when we mix up and cook a batch. We are going to try making the dough red and make them heart shaped for Valentines Day We put them in a zip lock bag and cut a small hole in it easier to clean up than a funnel just throw the bag away

    this was GREAT! the best funnel cake recipe i've used. as long as you use a blender to mix the batter everything will turn out great.

    Loved it! Tasted EXACTLY like the ones at the fair. The only thing I did differently was I made mini ones, and just used a BIG SPOON to dip into my batter and then into the hot oil. It was soooo good! Thank you for sharing!
