Ingredients
To make this delicious gluten free funnel cake, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
The first step in making this delicious gluten free funnel cake is to gather your ingredients. Once you have all of the ingredients, you can begin to make the batter.
Start by combining the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Once the wet ingredients are combined, add them to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Once the batter is combined, heat a few inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. You'll know the oil is ready when a bit of batter sizzles and bubbles when dropped into the oil. Using a funnel or a piping bag with a large tip, pipe the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion. Fry for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Remove the funnel cake from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Once the funnel cakes have cooled slightly, sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
