Funnel Cake Sundae Recipes

FUNNEL CAKES I

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs and the milk. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture, and beat with a mixer until smooth. The consistancy should be thin enough to run through a small kitchen funnel. Test it, and if it is too thick beat in a little more milk; if too thin, beat in a bit more flour.
• In an eight inch skillet, heat the oil to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
• Put your finger over the bottom opening of the funnel, and fill the funnel with a generous 1/2 cup of the batter. Hold the funnel close to the surface of the oil, and release the batter into the oil while making a circular motion. Fry until golden brown. Use tongs and wide spatula to turn the cake over carefully. Fry the second side one minute. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with sifted confectioners' sugar.

• combine eggs and sugar together then add the milk slowly
• Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy, add more milk if batter is too thick.
• You can use a funnel or if you don't have a funnel, like me, pour your batter into pourable container.
• In a deep fryer or large cast iron pot add 4 inches of oil.
• Drizzle the batter around in the deep fryer or cast-iron pot to desired thickness. Let cook for 5-8 minutes, turning halfway through the time. Cook until golden brown.
• Once funnel cake is done cooking, lift out of the oil and let as much oil drain out before transferring to paper towel.
• Put on saucer, top with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, and puréed strawberries. Serve immediately.

CHURRO FUNNEL CAKE ICE CREAM SUNDAES

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a wide shallow dish and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan set over medium heat melt the butter, then add in the milk, water, sugar and salt. Bring the mixture just to a boil and removed from heat. Mix in the flour and stir until it becomes a thick paste. Return the saucepan to medium heat and stir continuously for several minutes as the dough dries out. Look for a thin layer of film on the bottom of the pan.
• Remove from heat and put the dough into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low for about 5 minutes or cooled slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Pour the dough into a piping bag fitted with a medium plain tip or star tip.
• Bring a heavy-bottomed pot filled with vegetable oil to 350°F. Pipe the dough directly into the hot oil, swirling the batter as it falls in. The funnel cakes will be a little unpredictable, but aim to make them about 6 inches in diameter.
• Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined sheet pan to drain for about 1 minute, then dump in the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. Serve immediately with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream, corn syrup and salt just until the mixture steams but doesn't quite come to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the chocolate and cinnamon. Stir constantly until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Serve the chocolate sauce warm. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and kosher salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, butter, vanilla and egg and whisk until well combined.
• Make one funnel cake at a time: Pour 1/2 cup of the batter through a funnel (see Cook's Note) into the hot oil while making swirling and overlapping motions. Allow to fry and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and transfer to a plate. Top with a scoop of rocky road, cherry and caramel ice cream, a drizzle of hot fudge, some whipped cream and sprinkles.
