Funnel Cake Strips

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 0.25 tsp salt.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, beat the 1 egg, then stir in the 0.75 cup milk and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract.

3. 3

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—the batter should be smooth and slightly thick, like pancake batter.

4. 4

   Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers and a drop of batter sizzles immediately, about 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Carefully pour the batter into the hot oil in thin, zigzag strips, working in batches of 3-4 strips at a time; do not overcrowd the pan.

6. 6

   Fry each strip until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once with tongs.

7. 7

   Remove the strips with tongs and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with the 0.5 cup powdered sugar while still warm.
