I want to make funnel cake and Elephant ears Homemade I need a recipe for the elephant ears and need to know?
what kind of funnel to use and where to find one at.What is the best oil to use?
Answers:
Funnel cake:
1 cup water
3/4 stick butter (6 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 cup eggs, about 4 large eggs and 2 whites
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for topping
Boil water, butter, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan. Add flour and work it in until it is all incorporated and dough forms a ball. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer and let cool for 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer lowest speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely incorporated before continuing. Once all eggs have been added and mixture is smooth, put dough in a piping bag fitted with a number 12 tip. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy pan. Pipe dough into oil, making a free-form lattice pattern; cook until browned, flipping once. Remove cake from oil, drain on paper towels, and top with powdered sugar. Continue until all of the batter is used.
For elephant ears, just add a little cinnamon to the funnel cake recipe.
To drop your batter into the frying oil, use anything that will let it pour in a 1/2 inch or so stream; shape to what ever pleases you.
enjoy
