I was trying to decide between 3 or 4 stars. I usually rate 4 if I have to touch up a recipe, and apparently a 3 if I have to touch it up and it still isn't great. These funnel cakes weren't bad but they weren't what I was expecting either. I have made funnel cakes before so inexperience wasn't an issue, but I don't have that recipe anymore so I was looking for a new one. This isn't it. I added some vanilla, I added an extra 1/4-1/3 c. sugar and that helped a lot. Be sure to cook these until a dark golden brown; otherwise they will be doughy in the middle. This could have been because I poured out of a liquid measuring cup though and my "strands" were a little bigger than I meant for them to be. I made it the consistency of pancake batter, and that's pretty much what it tasted like: fried pancakes. On the upside, with not much ingredients it makes a lot. Definitely half this if you have less than 4 or 5 people. We don't eat small portions around here when it comes to sweets and I had about half a batch left over. If you have time and a good idea to try these go ahead, lots of good reviews here. I'll be trying the next one on the list.
