Ingredients

  • 1 bag of Original Vicky Cakes Pancake Mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a medium bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, vanilla extract (if using), and oil. Whisk until smooth. The batter should be slightly thicker than regular pancake batter.

Step 2: Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the top, it's ready.

Step 3: Fry the Funnel Cakes

Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle, a funnel, or a plastic bag with a small hole cut in one corner. Squeeze or pour the batter into the hot oil in a circular, swirling motion to create a lace-like pattern. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side, flipping once.

Step 4: Drain and Cool

Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter

Step 5: Dust with Powdered Sugar

Once the funnel cakes are cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
