Homemade Funnel Cake Recipe - Mistakes Were Made!

Full disclosure: The results were delicious, but a bit of a mess! Since we got a deep fryer, we've definitely wanted to try All The Things that you can do in a deep fryer. Some things were a wild success: the falafel came out amazing, and we were surprised at how easy the honey crullers were. Some things weren't quite so successful! This is one of those things. Turns out, dropping the batter into the deep fryer into the basket just causes the batter to cook through the basket. What a mess! So, we recommend if you want to do this, do it in a cast iron dutch oven or something else with a flat bottom that your batter won't get caught in.

We covered this with some excellent vanilla ice cream, some homemade strawberry sauce, and some store-bought chocolate sauce. It's fair food, so cover it with whatever stuff you like! Whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, chopped candied nuts, whatever. Not something you want to make every day, but it's fun for parties!
