Ingredients

  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup buttermilk pancake mix
  • 1 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup water
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Fill a large heavy sauté pan halfway with vegetable oil. Bring to 350F over medium-high heat.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, sugar, and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency similar to cake batter.
  • Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a ¼-inch tip. If you don’t have piping bags, use a zip lock bag with the corner snipped.
  • When the oil has reached the proper temperature, quickly squeeze the batter in a circular motion into the hot oil, forming a disk.
  • Let cook for 1 minute or so and carefully flip the funnel cake with tongs. Cook for an additional minute or until golden brown. Carefully remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Dust with powdered sugar while still hot.
