Absolutely! Here’s a recipe for gluten-free funnel cakes that will bring the taste of the carnival right to your home:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have a slightly thicker consistency than pancake batter. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature if needed.
- Once the oil is hot, pour the batter into a funnel, holding your finger over the bottom opening to prevent it from flowing out.
- Position the funnel over the hot oil and release your finger, moving the funnel in a circular motion to create a spiral pattern with the batter. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the funnel cake for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully flip the funnel cake halfway through cooking.
- Once done, transfer the funnel cake to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
- Once all the funnel cakes are cooked, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve the gluten-free funnel cakes warm and enjoy the carnival-style treat right at home!
Feel free to customize your funnel cakes with additional toppings like whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fruit compote for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy!
