Funnel Cake Fries with Marshmallow Dip

Ingredients

• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 cup canola or vegetable oil (Use about 3–4 cups, enough to create approximately 1 inch of oil in a large pot.)
• 1 jar marshmallow creme or marshmallow fluff (For dipping.)
• powdered sugar (For sprinkling while the funnel cake fries are still hot.)

Steps

1. 1

   Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set the dry mixture aside.

2. 2

   Using a mixer, beat the eggs, white sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl until foamy and well combined.

3. 3

   Carefully add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and thick.

4. 4

   Transfer the batter to a clean ketchup bottle, squirt bottle, piping bag, or resealable plastic bag with a small tip cut off for piping.

5. 5

   Pour about 1 inch of canola or vegetable oil into a large pot with high sides. Heat the oil to 350°F. If you do not have a thermometer, test it with a small amount of batter: the oil should sizzle vigorously and begin turning the batter golden fairly quickly. If the oil smokes, it is too hot; reduce the heat and add some batter immediately to help cool it.

6. 6

   Pipe the batter into long, straight lines directly into the hot oil. Fry until golden, approximately 30–60 seconds per side.

7. 7

   Remove the funnel cake fries to a plate. Immediately sprinkle them with powdered sugar while they are still hot.

8. 8

   Serve the hot funnel cake fries with the marshmallow creme or marshmallow fluff for dipping.

Notes

The structured recipe data contains an invalid negative cook-time value; the listed 15-minute total time and 10-minute prep time support an approximately 5-minute cook time. The source mentions that regular milk may be substituted for evaporated milk, although the authoritative ingredient list specifies regular milk. The amount of powdered sugar is not specified.
