1. Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda by sifting together onto large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg and sugar. Once whisked, add milk to mixture and whisk again to mix together.
3. Slowly add milk and egg mixture to the flour and mix together. The consistency should be like pancake batter, but not too runny and not too thick.
4. In a deep pan heat approx two inches of canola or vegetable oil. Test the oil by sprinkling a drop of water; the oil should sizzle.
5. I don’t have a funnel so I used a gravy boat to pour the mixture onto the oil and it seemed to work well. Pour mixture over oil in circles trying to form a web.
6. Allow cake to rise to the top and turn over once it reaches a nice golden brown colour (approx 30-40 seconds).
7. Remove from heat and place over paper towel to remove excess oil.
8. Serve on a plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or in our case, cookies and cream because we had no plain vanilla)
9. Drizzle some homemade strawberry syrup and sprinkle some icing sugar on top
10. Dig in and enjoy!

Today I neglected responsibilities (which I will undoubtedly pay for when I go to bed at 3:00am), but seeing the happiness in our children’s faces and hearing their laughter makes it all worth it.
The day started off a little gloomy and rainy and as I started to set up my work station (ie. the family room floor), I remembered our summer to do list which is written on our chalk wall.
One of the items on the list is play in the rain, and so we did…
What a yummy looking recipe! Watch out for those water balloons!!

I haven’t made funnel cakes in years…probably 10 years! My kids even bought me a “funnel cake maker kit” for my birthday a few years back. Yours looks yummy…and pretty.
You are right- soak up every precious moment of childhood whilst you can- they will be gone with lives and wives of their own long before YOU are ready for that transistion. Hugs and blessings- Diana
I’ve never heard of funnel cake but does it ever look delish!! I love the photo of the children eating it – it’s priceless!
Aww! That photo of your kids getting ready to dig in is just priceless. I’m so glad that you all enjoyed it. Topping it off with the fruit sounds wonderful! Have a blessed day 🙂

We have made funnel cakes for years. My husband likes his with thick strings. I like mine with thin strings. They are wonderful with crushed pineapple and brown sugar on them.

Pumpkin Funnel Cakes Recipe – This traditional Pennsylvania Dutch treat is flavored with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, cooked in deep fat until crisp and golden, then dusted with confectioners’ sugar.
I notice how the chubby cheeks and chunky fingers on their young faces are quickly being replaced by mature qualities.
