Funnel Cake Fries are a fun and crispy twist on the classic fair treat. These golden, sweet fries are perfect for dipping and sharing with family and friends, bringing all the nostalgic fair flavors to your kitchen!

  • Total Time: 21 minutes
  • Yield: 20 fries

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk (plus 1–2 tablespoons, if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and pourable. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, one at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
  3. Pour the batter into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or a squeeze bottle for easy control.
  4. Heat 3 inches of vegetable or canola oil in a deep pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 340°F–350°F (170°C–175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and adjust the heat as needed.
  5. Pipe or squeeze 3-4 strips of batter, about 5-6 inches long, directly into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the fries to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil stays at the correct temperature.
  7. Once all the fries are cooked, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can add cinnamon sugar instead of powdered sugar for a different flavor.
  • To keep the oil temperature consistent, be sure to wait a few minutes for the oil to heat back up before frying the next batch.
  • These funnel cake fries are best enjoyed immediately while they are crispy.
