Well, now I’ve done it.
I made funnel cakes.
There’s NO going back.
No longer do I need to wait for the fair,
or a trip to an amusement park.
This could get dangerous
and… seeing how it is fall
I added cider
and my favorite apple pie spice
and cinnamon mixed with the powdered sugar
Not sure if I should be proud of this fact, but I am getting GOOD at frying.
Apple Cider Funnel Cakes:
~recipe adapted from The Pioneer Woman
2 cups of flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup apple cider
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp apple pie spice
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
combine the dry ingredients
add in the eggs
vanilla
cider
milk
mix until well blended
{you may need to add just a bit more liquid}
should look like pancake batter
heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet
when the oil is hot, add the batter to your funnel or a squeeze bottle
hold the opening VERY close to the oil or your batter won’t stay together
{make smal circular motions}
they cook extremely fast
using tongs flip over to cook the other side
not much longer than one minute
drain on paper towels
dust with powdered sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon
Enjoy!

Oh my yum Heather! These look amazing!
thank you Dorothy – not wise to make them the week I’ll be sitting around reading and re-reading BlogCon posts though
Yep. Not allowed to make those!
seriously – it’s best you forget you ever saw them. I have eaten my weight in fried dough this week
I’m scared to make this because I think I’ll love it too much. BUT I do have some cider in my fridge…Thanks for the recipe
Ooh, now this looks like delicious carnival food!
Yep, you’re now my favorite person ever.

Thanks, Peggy. http://diycraftyprojects.com/2012/10/whatcha-work-up-wednesday-5-linky-parties-are-back.html
Oh, my goodness. I wonder if I can pretend I didn’t see this. Funnel cake has to be the best treat ever. What a great twist adding an apple pie flavor. If I can figure out how to make this gluten-free, it will be a Thanksgiving hit! Pinning.
can you please come over to my house and make these? the pictures look so scrumptious I just want to reach through the screen!!!

thanks so much!
These would be dangerous in my house. My husband loves funnel cakes, and with the addition of cider and apple pie spice…yum! I just may have to make some of these.
Those are my all time favorite fair treats…I don’t think this is a good thing for me to see:-) Now I want to pull out the fryer and make some and my jeans are skeered!!!
I saw you on Tater Tot’s and Jello…oh my goodness! We have been making funnel cakes ever since I can remember, but this addition looks so delicious!
You had me at funnel cake!! YUM
