These are SO much fun to make. The entire family loved them. It was a little sad my eldest couldn't remember ever eating one of these at a fair, but now he can enjoy the taste of fair-fresh funnel cake at home! (Actually, my husband had no recollection of ever having a funnel cake either). This recipe doesn't seem like it would make much, but it does make a lot, so I'd recommend making half a recipe unless you've got a big crew around to feed. You can store batter covered in the refrigerator up to a few days, if you don't want to make them all at once. Enjoy!
Homemade Funnel Cakes!
Serves 12-15 easily. A great recipe when you have lots of friends or family around to share!
Heat over medium-high heat in a high-sided frying pan:
1/2 - 1" avocado oil (or another frying oil of your choice - I love frying in avocado oil as I find it lends a light flavor and provides a nice crispness)
Mix together until smooth (an immersion blender works nicely):
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 1/2 cups Kristin's Gluten-Free Flour Mix
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
Pour carefully into a squeeze bottle. Drizzle onto hot oil, as desired. Make sure they're not too large so you can easily flip them with a large, slotted spatula.
Cook about 1-2 minutes until funnel cakes are looking browned. Flip over carefully. Let cook an additional 30 sec - 1 minute before removing to paper towel-lined cookie sheet.
You may need to add a little extra oil to the pan if you're running low. These don't need a lot of oil to cook in.

Pretty funnel cakes, crazy squiggly cakes were so fun to make!
