Making funnel cake at home is easier than you think! This version has warm cardamom spice added for a wintery flavor. Smarts: Despite its name, no funnel is needed for this festive dessert! Just use any container with a spout, like a measuring cup or pitcher.
In a heavy-bottomed deep saute or saucepan, heat 1-2 inches of oil.
Pour the batter into a container with a spout (like a large measuring cup). Drizzle batter into hot oil, making a swirl design and making sure to overlap the batter in spots.
Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Cook in batches if using a smaller pot.
Cool funnel cakes slightly on a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar / cardamom mixture. Serve hot and enjoy!
