How to Make Carnival Funnel Cake at Home?
In a mixing bowl, add the egg. Whisk the egg well with a fork or electric egg beater until the yolk combines and becomes a little bubbly.
Then add milk and sugar. Whisk again until the sugar gets dissolved well in the egg mixture.
Then, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Give a gentle whisk until the flour combines with the dry ingredients. Add water to dilute this mixture to a little thicker flowing consistency.
Transfer the batter we made to a zip lock or plastic bag. Snip off one corner of the pack. The snipping-off size decides the thickness of the funnel cake. The smaller the hole, the thinner and crispier the cake, and vice versa.
Heat oil in the pan, and gently squeeze the bag to make a circular pattern. The circles need not be accurate.
Wait for the bottom side to get golden brown. Then, flip it onto the other side to make it cook.
Once both sides turn golden brown, drain them from the oil. Transfer to a kitchen towel to remove excess cooking oil.
While serving, dust confectionery sugar with the sieve/tea strainer over the cake. Add whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or Nutella for richer.
