Pumpkin Funnel Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This recipe for pumpkin funnel cake will warm you up during the colder months. To make it, you’ll need: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs, 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree, 1 ¼ cups milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 4-6 cups vegetable oil for frying.
Instructions
Begin by combining the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Heat the 4-6 cups of oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oil is hot, use a funnel (or a pastry bag with a large star tip) to carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flipping once. Carefully remove the funnel cakes from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Once all of the funnel cakes have been fried, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy your pumpkin funnel cakes!
