Funnel Cake always a favorite for anyone at American carnivals. Always at summer carnivals my son went for 2 rides then he wants to get snacks, he named the funnel cake as carnival cake. So every time he asks about carnival cake, I respond will get on summer times.
Now using this recipe, funnel cakes can easily be prepared at home any time of year. The batter is simple and the frying time is quicker than pancakes. Funnel cakes are really fun to make and kids are excited to eat this. Throughout the year we can surprise the kids at anytime. To make the batter my son helped me. Hope you guys don't mind my son hands in process photos.
