Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag, funnel, or squeeze bottle and pipe long strips into the hot oil.
- Fry for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels, dust with powdered sugar while still warm, and top with sliced strawberries.
Notes
- Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or a berry mix for variety.
- Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
- Substitute almond, oat, or soy milk for dairy-free funnel cake fries.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the fries for extra indulgence.
- Toss fries in cinnamon sugar before adding fruit for a churro-style twist.
- Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be re-crisped in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
