(The first ever recipe resembling a funnel cake showed up in a German cookbook in 1879.) The name “funnel cake” was derived from the method of squeezing batter through a funnel in a circular pattern into hot oil to achieve a dizzying pattern of crispy-fried dough.

Funnel cakes are basically glorified pancakes, poured through a smaller vessel, into a deep fryer instead of onto a skillet. The results are positively magical: hot and crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, maybe a thick dusting of powdered sugar or enough toppings to call it an ice cream sundae.

funnel cake, fried-dough dish popular at fairs, carnivals, and boardwalks and among street vendors. Batter is swirled around into hot oil using a funnel, creating a lattice of deep-fried dough, and then served with heaps of powdered sugar.

Traditional recipes call for a fairly standard batter: flour, eggs, sugar, milk, baking soda or baking powder, but I discovered that you can make awesome funnel cakes with "complete" buttermilk pancake mix (look for brands that only require the addition of water).

The first funnel cakes were made using a simple bowl with a hole cut in the middle through which bakers would pipe the batter into the hot oil. Since the consistency of batter flowing into the hot oil is key, makeshift piping bags also were briefly used to ensure even distribution.

Beautiful and delicious wedding cake! My wedding cake was delicious! We went to the cake tasting and the options alone were fantastic. We let them know what flavors we wanted and the top layer of our cake was going to be reserved for us so we went with a chocolate cake with a peanut butter filling. So good!
