Equipment
- Deep fryer
- Small bowl
- Hand whisk
- Funnel
- Tongs
Ingredients
- Flour 1 ½ cups
- Dairy-free milk 1 ⅓ cups
- Sugar 2 tablespoons
- Water 2 tablespoons
- Ground flax seeds 1 tablespoon
- Baking powder ½ tablespoon
- Vanilla extract ½ teaspoon
- Salt ⅛ teaspoon
- Cooking oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for topping
Instructions
- Bring the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot to a temperature of 375 degrees F, making sure it is properly heated for frying.
- Create a vegan flax egg by mixing flax seeds and water in a small bowl. Set the mixture aside for 10 minutes.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Pour in the dairy-free milk, flax egg, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients just until they are incorporated.
- Using a funnel, carefully pour the mixture into the funnel while covering the opening with your finger to prevent it from flowing out.
- Carefully remove your finger from the opening of the funnel while holding it over the hot oil. Use a smooth and controlled motion to create a spiral or free-form lattice design as the mixture flows out of the funnel.
- Allow the mixture to cook for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden color. Use a pair of tongs to carefully flip it over to the other side.
- Using tongs, carefully lift the cooked mixture from the oil and transfer it to a cooling rack or a plate lined with paper towels. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving or further handling.
- Repeat the previous steps with the remaining batter.
- Once the funnel cakes have cooled for 5 minutes, sprinkle them with powdered sugar or any other desired toppings.
