This is my first month in the The Secret Recipe Club. Basically you are paired with someone and you get to browse their website and bake something from their recipe archive, only they don’t know who has their blog!
Well guess what? Today is the reveal day and I get to share with you whose site I visited and what I chose to make
I was assigned to This Chick Cooks which is run by Katie. I loved reading Katie’s about me page. She and I kind of have the same idea going on–trying to live a healthier lifestyle while enjoying a dessert every now and then. She is a girl after my own heart <3!
After reading her page and seeing that she is a dessert girl, I decided to make her delicious and easy Funnel Cake!
I grew up eating Carni food and Funnel Cake is one of my favorites Her recipe is scrumptious and tastes just like what you would get at any street fair or carnival.
Here is the recipe for you to enjoy! Be sure and visit This Chick Cooks and check out all the other recipes she has available!
Funnel Cake {Easy and Homemade}
taken from This Chick Cooks Website
Funnel Cake Recipe (serves 6 people)
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup milk, plus more if needed
Canola oil, for frying
1 cup confectioners’ sugar for topping (you can add 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon to the sugar if you want)
Sift flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk the egg and granulated sugar. Whisk the egg into the milk mixture. Gently stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture. The batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter, but thin enough to pour. Make sure it doesn’t have any big lumps. Add more milk if needed (up to 2-3 tablespoons)
Heat 2 inches of canola oil in a pot with deep sides over medium heat until it gets to 375. If you’re like me and you don’t have a frying thermometer then just heat it until a drop of water sizzles when dropped into the oil. Cover the hole of a funnel with you finger and pour 1/2 cup batter in. Hold the funnel over the oil and remove your finger, moving the funnel around in circles to create a web pattern (it will look like lots of blobs but as you continue to add batter they will cook together). Cook for about 30 seconds until the batter floats and the underside is golden. Use a slotted spoon and flip to cook the other side for another 30 or so seconds or until golden. Place the funnel cake on a paper towel and let cool for a minute. Use a sifter to top with powdered sugar and serve.
Those cakes look spectacular. Calling that carnie food (usually made by teenagers) is a disservice to your skill – yours look professional.
I love how you go from eating healthy to funnel cake I love deep-fried foods and if I didn’t hate the actual process of deep-frying, I’d probably deep-fry everything.
Very fun, I’ve never thought to make funnel cake at home, looks delicious. If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my Group ‘A” ~ SRC recipe this month: Cilantro Lime Chicken
I’ve never tried to make a funnel cake before. How Cool!
