Funnel Cake & Honey Butter
Does funnel cake remind you of the county and state fairs? It does me and great times together as a family.
We were always involved in 4-H so we would go to the fairs to see which ribbons my kids were awarded. I hope you enjoy this version of fair food.
The honey butter…what needs to be said? It is great on funnel cake, toast, muffins, on a spoon….
FUNNEL CAKE
Ingredients:
1 1/8 cups flour
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
¾ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
1 egg
¾ cup milk (may need 1-2 Tbl additional)
Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Directions:
In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients.
Add in the egg and milk; beat until smooth
Heat ½- 1 inch oil in an electric fry pan to 375 degrees.
Use a funnel with an opening of approximately ½”.
Cover the bottom opening of the funnel with finger.
Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into the funnel.
Remove finger from funnel end to release batter into hot oil.
Move funnel in a slow circular motion to form a spiral or other design.
*If the batter is too thick add milk 1 Tbl. at a time; this varies due to type and age of flour and altitude.
Optional: pour batter slowly and in a thin stream to form designs.
Fry till brown, turn to fry so that both sides are a golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and serve with dusted powdered sugar or honey butter.
HONEY BUTTER
Ingredients and Directions:
In a small bowl place 1 stick of real butter that is softened to room temperature, not melted.
Whip till light with a mixer.
Slowly pour in ¼ – 1/3 cup of honey depending on your taste.
Whip until light. Serve. Keep leftovers in the fridge.

Recognize a blessing and be a blessing today.
Funnel cake is the best. Topped with honey butter and I can only imagine the state of total bliss it would induce 🙂 Stopping by from Tasty Tuesdays 🙂
I love funnel cakes. I mean, they are literally the only reason I go to the fair. I bet they are great topped with honey butter.
I’d love for you to stop by Manic Monday tomorrow at 8pm EST.

Carrie,
Boy would my kids love this. They always want a funnel cake when we go somewhere that sells them. I have never tried making them at home. You make it look so easy. I might just have to try it sometime.
Blessings,

So reminds me of the county fairs. My girls love funnel cakes. During homecoming at a college here, we always go just to get funnel cakes. Needed a recipe, too. Pinning this……
