Backyard Carnival (with Gluten Free Fair Food)

Gluten Free & Dairy Free Funnel Cakes

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 5 , give or take
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk (almond milk for dairy free or regular milk otherwise)
  • 1 ¼ cup gluten free all purpose flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • powdered sugar, to dust
  • avocado oil, to fry (you'll need a bit! be sure to do some math based on your cooking method!)

Equipment

  • Pot or Deep Fryer
  • Slotted Spoon or Strainer
  • Sheet Tray/Pan, lined with towels
  • Thermometer (if making on the stove)
  • Squeeze Bottle(s)

Method
 

  1. Mix together ingredients until smooth, then pour into squeeze bottles with the tip cut to be shorter for a thicker stream of batter.
  2. In a large pot on the stove or in a deep fryer, heat avocado oil to 350℉.
  3. Squeeze batter into the hot oil for approximately 8 seconds in a circular motion.
  4. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until golden. You’ll want it to be soft, not crunchy, so don’t wait for the funnel cake to get too firm.
  5. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet to dry/cool slightly.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
