Campfire Funnel Cake:
I made this cake on the stove. I can also cook it over a campfire. However, when using grease over a campfire you must be extremely careful. The pan would need to be a good distance above the campfire to make sure any oil that pops over the side doesn’t cause the fire flame up.
Bring the oil to a boil and using a squeeze bottle drizzle the dough into the hot oil. Oven mitts help with the popping of grease. Using a spider lightly flip the dough after 90 seconds.
Just get the dough to a light golden brown on each side. Remove to a plate with a napkin or paper liner to soak up grease. Dust with some powder sugar. When I make the cake it takes on the flavor that is used. Second, add a little vanilla or lemon juice to spice it up.
Make funnel cake have the flavors of the harvest season by adding a little bit of pumpkin spice to the batter. Any way you make this sweet dessert fry cake it will be a crowd pleaser. Bring a little bit of the fair food right to your home.
