Cooking Tips

To make the perfect funnel cake, hold the funnel close to the oil and move it in a circular motion to create a lace-like pattern.

Notes

Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying the funnel cake. Too hot, and it will burn; too cool, and it will be soggy.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover funnel cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
