Is it possible to make a vegan funnel cake?!
Answers: How would I do that, and do you think it would still taste good?
Yes you can make one and it will taste fine, not as good as the regular kind but still good.
Here is a recipe for you and the link to the site I got it from so you can see the yummy pictures of it.
Vegan funnel cakes~
1 c. all-purpose unbleached flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Ener-G (dry powder)
1 tsp. baking powder
dash salt
1 tsp. vanilla
about 1 c. vanilla soymilk
Combine all the dry ingredients, then add in the wet and stir until mostly lump-free. You'll also need oil and powdered sugar for later.
Heat 1/2" to 1" of oil in a small saucepan. You want it good and hot so it crisps the cakes up and they don't have to stay in too long. Meanwhile, scoop the batter into a funnel or bag(
snip the corner of bag) off to some reasonable size for reasonably-sized squiggles--too big and you won't have as much control over the batter, too small and the squiggles will all be too thin and crispy. You could also use a pastry bag with a tip.
When the oil's ready start squeezing a (preferably solid) line of batter out of the bag in all kinds of crazy motions into the pan. Let it fry for a couple minutes on one side, then flip it and let it continue cooking until golden brown. Lift the cake out of the oil and let the extra drip off, then drain on paper towels. While still warm, dust them with organic powdered sugar.
Surprisingly some funnel cakes meant for "mainstream" consumption are actually vegan! You can buy make-your-own kits and alter them accordingly; if they call for milk use soy milk, if they call for eggs use applesauce, if they call for butter use soy-based margerine. I went to the Lilac Festival here in Rochester, NY last year and one of the stands let me read the package on their funnel cake, and it was vegan!
