For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. If you don't have a funnel, you can use a piping bag or even a plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking. If the oil is too cool, the funnel cakes will be greasy; if it's too hot, they'll burn quickly. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These are best enjoyed fresh!

Mar 12, 2025The key is definitely to not overcrowd the pan when frying. They need space to get crispy.
