Crispy Funnel Cake Sticks are a delightful twist on the classic carnival treat. These bite-sized, golden-brown sticks are light, airy, and dusted with powdered sugar for the perfect sweet finish. Easy to make and fun to eat, they’re great for parties, fairs, or a quick dessert craving!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Heat the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or pot to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Pipe the Batter: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped.
  4. Fry the Sticks: Pipe 3-4 inch strips of batter directly into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
  5. Drain and Dust: Remove the sticks with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar.
  6. Serve: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or fruit preserves.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon to the powdered sugar for a flavor twist.
  • These sticks are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer to regain their crispiness.
