Carnival-Style Gluten Free Funnel Cakes

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:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Once the oil is hot, pour the batter into a funnel, holding your finger over the bottom opening to prevent it from flowing out.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Once done, transfer the funnel cake to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
10. Once all the funnel cakes are cooked, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
11. 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!
