Funnel cake is a type of sweet food that you can find at fairs and festivals. It looks like a big, crispy, golden-brown pancake that's curled and swirled into a spiral shape. The batter for a funnel cake is a mixture of flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and flavorings.
So, let's say you want to make a funnel cake. You start by pouring the batter into a funnel (a long, skinny container with a narrow opening at the bottom). Then, you hold the funnel over a deep fryer or hot oil, and you let the batter flow out of the funnel in a spiral pattern. As the batter hits the hot oil, it puffs up and turns golden and crispy.
Once the funnel cake is cooked, you can sprinkle powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar on top. Then, you can eat it with a fork, or you can pick it up and pull off pieces with your fingers. Funnel cake is crunchy, crispy, and sweet all at the same time.
Some people like to eat funnel cake all by itself, while others like to add toppings like whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fruit. Either way, it's a yummy treat that's perfect for a day out at the fair or carnival!
