No need to wait until summer comes to have a taste of these funnel cakes. These are very easy to make at home and the colorful sprinkles make this recipe perfect for any summer-themed party. Some of my family members prefer a funnel cake for their birthday rather than a traditional cake. We just add the candles to a few scoops of ice cream placed on top.
Heat oil to 375°F in a deep-fryer or a large skillet.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat two eggs until frothy. Add one cup of milk, one cup of water, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
Add three cups of Bisquick, and one-quarter cup of sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Carefully scoop one-half cup of batter into a funnel. Move the funnel in a spiral motion until all the batter has flowed out. (If you don’t own a funnel, you can also use a plastic bag. Just pour the batter into the bag and cut the end of where the batter will pour out).
Fry for three to five minutes on each side or until golden brown, using a slotted spoon to flip once.
Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar and a sprinkling of rainbow sprinkles.
Repeat steps four to six with the remaining batter.
