1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
11 -
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
02 -
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
03 -
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
04 -
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F.
05 -
Pour the batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle. Hold the funnel or bottle over the hot oil and carefully drizzle the batter in a swirling, circular pattern. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to carefully flip the funnel cake halfway through.
06 -
Remove the funnel cake from the oil and drain on paper towels. Once drained, sprinkle the funnel cake generously with powdered sugar.
07 -
In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream (or milk) over low heat, stirring until smooth and melted.
08 -
Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the powdered sugar-covered funnel cake.
09 -
Serve immediately and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Be careful when frying; the oil should be hot but not smoking. If the oil is too hot, the funnel cake may burn.
02 -
You can substitute chocolate chips with chocolate chunks or any other favorite topping.
03 -
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
