First, a shot of my set-up. I purchased the smaller pot because I didn’t want to be limited to a huge turkey pot for frying.
After making my batter and warming up the oil, I start the cooking. Hmmm, doesn’t quite look like the ones from the state fair.
Dusted with powdered sugar.
The waiting crowd.
The family liked these a lot! The cakes tasted just like the ones from the fair, and were especially good being warm from the cooker. They didn’t quite look right, but I was getting better as I went along. Before the next cook, I’m going to get several sauce bottles from the restaurant supply store to experiment with. There’s some way with the flow of the batter, the heat from the oil, and the hand motion that all work to get that funnel cake shape. Well, practice makes perfect.
