Ingredients
  

For the Funnel Cake Batter
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour Provides structure and body; no substitutions recommended.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness; can substitute with margarine.
  • 1 cup Evaporated Milk Enhances creaminess; can be substituted.
  • Powder sugar for dusting Adds sweetness and a classic look.
For the Strawberry Sauce
  • 2 cups Strawberries Fresh fruit for natural sweetness and color.
  • 1/4 cup Sugar Sweetens the sauce; adjust to taste.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Deep Frying Pan
  • Thermometer
  • Slotted spoon
  • Funnel or piping bag

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 cup of evaporated milk until smooth.
  2. In a deep, heavy-bottomed pan, pour enough vegetable oil to fill it about 3 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  3. Carefully transfer the prepared batter to a funnel or piping bag. When the oil is hot enough, hold the funnel over the oil and create a swirling lattice pattern.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the fried funnel cake from the oil and allow excess oil to drain.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. Cook until softened and syrup forms.
  6. Drizzle the warm strawberry sauce generously over the funnel cakes and enjoy immediately.
