How to make funnel cake without milk?
You may use the same recipe, but instead of milk, you may add water. This substitution of water will not break the dish and it does taste excellent.
How to Make:
In a mixing bowl add egg. Using a fork or electric egg beater, whisk the egg well until yolk combines well and becomes little frothy.
Then add milk and sugar. Whisk again until the sugar gets dissolved well in the egg mixture.
Then add the flour, baking powder, salt. Give a gentle whisk one more time until the flour combines with the dry ingredients. Add water to dilute this mixture to little thicker flowing consistency.
In a zip lock bag or any other plastic bag, transfer the batter we made. Snip off the one corner of the bag. The snipping off size decides the thickness of the funnel cake. The smaller the hole, thinner and crispier funnel cake and vice versa.
Heat oil in the pan, gently squeezes the bag to make a circular pattern. The circles need not be accurate.
Wait for the bottom side to get golden brown in color. Then flip onto the other side to make it cook.
Once both the side turned golden brown in color, 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 oven the cake. Add whipped cream, chocolate sauce or Nutella for more richer.
