This recipe was originally posted on Spend With Pennies. I remember growing up (YES I’M GOING THERE), my youngest sister and I liked to experiment in the kitchen. Occasionally, our mother would give in to our desires and we would get a little crazy, making the things we know she’d never usually go for like these easy Funnel Cakes. We made these Funnel Cakes over and over, and I promise you — if a pair of adolescents can make these mostly without supervision and without burning themselves or the house down, you can, too! Making a funnel cake is as easy as stirring together a batter, similar to pancake batter, and then pouring it into a large ziploc bag (or a piping bag if you’re feeling fancy), snipping the end and drizzling it into some hot oil. It’s golden and crispy in just a few minutes, and then you just dust it with powdered sugar, or choose some of my topping options below, and devour. I promise you they won’t last long!

Tips for making a Homemade Funnel Cake:
This Funnel Cake recipe makes just two large funnel cakes. Because funnel cakes really need to be eaten fresh, I wanted a small batch that can easily be doubled or tripled when you need.
What to serve with funnel cakes:
Traditionally, funnel cakes are served with a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar — like the best, freshest powdered donut you’ve ever had in your life! But the fun doesn’t have to end there. Here are a few more ideas:
Powdered sugar and fresh sliced strawberries A scoop of your favorite ice cream Mint chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate sauce Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar like a churro (warm chocolate dipping sauce required!)
