• 90oz. of water

• Making Your Funnel Cake
  • Fill your shallow fryer to the recommended level with vegetable oil and heat to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the funnel cake mold in the fryer
  • Pour batter into the mold from a funnel cake pitcher, starting with a circle of batter near the outer edge of the mold, then making a zig-zag overlapping design touching the outer edge circle.
  • Do not overfill mold since the batter will expand as it cooks
  • After approximately 30 seconds remove the mold and turn the funnel cake over with tongs to achieve a golden brown on both sides.
  • Do not overcook or the funnel cake will turn a dark red. It should stay bright red.
  • Remove the funnel cake and let it cool briefly.
  • Top with powdered sugar or cream cheese frosting.
