Awesome resipe and easy to make. I added a few teaspoons of sugar to the batter for a little added sweetness.

What a great snack on a rainy night and fun to make. My boys loved it and said it tasted just like a carnival funnel cake.

The recipe used too much salt. I would halve it next time. At first, I thought that it was just me, but everyone was telling me that it tasted a little salty. We tried to cover it up with tons of confectioner's sugar though. Besides that, it seemed perfect. I used a ziploc bag, I cut the hole a tad too big but found a way to make it work. Will use again...with less salt.

Great recipe. Way cheaper to make at home than buying at a carnival or restaurant. These tasted great with some strawberry topping and vanilla ice cream!

It took a while to get the hang of getting the funnel cakes to look right. I ended up using a large pastry bag and it worked better than the funnel. They tasted good and the kids loved dusting them with powdered sugar. Would make again.

These were great. The batter was fine without adding more liquid. The only thing I did different was to add a little cinnamon. My family devoured them! Ü

Yummy. I agree with the vanilla user. Also, you can use a squeeze bottle (like ketchup bottle) for dispesing in the oil. Great snack

Excellent! Tasted just like funnel cake I had when I was a kid. It was a little hard to get it to come out of the funnel fast enough (even when I thinned the batter), but maybe my funnel was too small. So I put it in a pastery bag, held my finger over the tip to keep the batter from running out until I was ready, then squeezed it into the hot oil in a circular motion. Perfect!

We love this recipe. Shoot the fair's here charge between five and six dollars a piece. My six year old grandaughter wanted these for her birthday party so we made up some big batches. She had 50 kids. We did use the orginal recipe and like another reviewer suggested used vanilla extract in half the batch. Both adults and kids gobbled up the orginal as I think the vanilla added with the powdered sugar made it just a little to sweet. I also don't have a funnel or pastry bag, so I put batter in a zip lock bag and cut the bottom corner edge. Turned out great. Now we don't have to wait for the fair to come to town. Thanks for such a great post.

Awesome! I added just a little sugar and vanilla to the batter. The first one I made turned out like a weird pancake - it's really important that the oil is hot enough before you start pouring the batter in! Also, give the oil time to reheat to the right temp between cakes. The second one was perfect. I could actually feel my cholesterol going up with each bite! My hubby, who had never had funnel cake, RAVED about it! I cut the recipe back to 6 servings and it made two HUGE cakes. Next time I will cut back to 3 servings and top it with choc sauce and whipped cream! *drool*

OMG! I only made half of the batch. I added about 1 teaspoon vanilla and about 1/4 cup sugar to the batter. I don't have a kitchen funnel so I used a ziploc bag with a corner cut off. These were awesome, really simple to make, quick to fry...delicious...what else? They are just great. I used two spatulas to flip them over. Whatever you use to flip them make sure you grab them in the middle because the corners will be crispier and break off easily.

We really liked this recipe. I added some sugar and some vanilla extract, just like the fair. yummy. I didn't have a funnel so I cut the corner out of a sandwich bag, it worked good. Thanks for the recipe now I don't have to wait all year for the fair to get a good funnel cake.

I like this recipe... easy to make and it does taste and look like funnel cakes you get at carnivals. The only change I made was using bread flour instead of AP flour because that was the only kind of flour I had. Also, I used a clean, clear plastic bag (like the ones you see when you buy produce in the supermarkets), fill them with the batter, snip one of the edges and it made beautiful funnel cakes. I used tons of powdered sugar because we like out funnel cakes sweet. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a huge hit! Everyone loved these funnel cakes. I did it a little different. I added vanilla extract and cinnamon. My dad and brother used pancake syrup on their's and as for myself, daughter, sister-in-law and Mother, we enjoyed it with sifted powdered sugar. They were great!!!

There's no need to look for another for this because this is IT. I never have to wait for another carnival and spend all that money on one of these ever again. I also added a tsp vanilla. I highly recommend this.

Delicious...I added just a little bit of vanilla extract and it was just the right touch. I don't have a funnel either, so I used a pastry bag instead. Dust it with some powder sugar and that's all you need. One of the best I have had. Thanks for the post.
