Apple Cider Funnel Cakes with Cinnamon Sugar
These funnel cakes are not just any ordinary snack; they bring that warm, cozy feeling of autumn right to your plate. Perfect for gatherings or just because you deserve a little treat!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider
- 2 large eggs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the apple cider and eggs. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t over-mix; you want that batter to be slightly lumpy.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small bit of batter into it—if it sizzles and rises to the top, you’re good to go!
- Using a funnel or squeeze bottle, carefully squeeze the batter into the hot oil in swirling patterns. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Make sure to be cautious as the oil will be hot!
- Once they’re done frying, remove the funnel cakes from the oil using tongs and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Dust them generously with powdered sugar and serve warm. If you want to get fancy, you can also sprinkle some extra cinnamon sugar on top!
So there you have it! It’s truly as simple as that. Treat yourself or your loved ones to these amazing Apple Cider Funnel Cakes and watch them disappear in no time! Enjoy, and happy frying!
