this was pretty good...despite i didn't have baking soda and granulated sugar. so instead, i used confectioners(? can't spell right)sugar. still pretty good. the batter was too thick to go through a funnel so i used a plastic bag and cut the tip. my first one i burned it tho, but the second & third turned out fine.

This tasted just like the fair! I cut it down to 4 servings and used 1 cup of flour. It was more than enough for myself and 2 children. Five stars!!!

Made these again yesterday for a quick snack for the boys when they came in from school. I cooked them in a 9 inch castiron skillet. The boys commented that the more I make these the better they are. I did make 2 substitutions tho. I added vanilla and added 1/2 cup sugar instead. The were wonderful. Also after getting up this morning I made them for breakfast and the kids enjoyed them again. I made a total of 12 cakes. I will make these again for the bake sales and put them into ziplock baggies. Thanks again for the great recipe.

Turned out great, we didn't have a funnel so cut out a corner of a zip lock bag and it worked out great. Thanks for the post.

Really good recipe! We are using this recipe for a scouting event. A great tip to dispense this, is to use a cleaned out ketchup bottle. Use your funnel or a funnel made out of foil and laddle batter into your ketchup bottle. Makes it easier to just squirt it in and the apperance comes out just as nice.

I thought this was just great. I used a wok instead of a frying pan. I think it worked just wonderful. Never tried these before but we LOVE them now. Gayle

Thanks for the wonderful recipe. Just like at the state fair. It makes quite a bit too. It is worth 5 stars. My family loves these. Makes a great snack instead of popcorn, and just as fast too.

I am from New England and have never even eaten a funnel cake before - never heard of them until I saw them on The Food Network. My kids and I had so much fun making these and my 2 year old was actually on the floor crying waiting for the second batch to finish! I added a splash of vanilla, and cut down the flour as other reveiwers suggested. I don't have anything to compare these to, but they were FABULOUS.

*****EXCELLENT***** recipe!! With a family of Celiac sufferers, I am always looking for recipes that will convert easily to gluten-free. This is one of the better ones--although (as with most GF conversions) I had to use a bit more flour to get the consistency right. As for the recipe in general, the taste of these cakes is simply unmatched--and it's sooooo easy! I added a splash of double-vanilla exract and even replaced ALL the sugar with Splenda, and my kids went crazy for them! It's so exciting to be able to make these, because since our family has had to go gluten-free, we've obviously had to give up many foods, and it can be discouraging for kids--especially when going to fairs and seeing everyone else indulging in things they think they can never have again. Being able to have funnel cakes again really lifted my wee-ones' spirits. Thanks so much for sharing this, Tina!
