Notes
Feel free to customize your funnel cakes with various toppings like fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
For a healthier twist, consider using whole wheat flour or baking instead of frying.
If you don’t have whole milk, any type of milk or non-dairy alternative works fine.
Make sure to serve funnel cakes immediately for the best texture and flavor.
To store, let them cool, then place in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature. Reheat in a preheated oven to restore crispiness.
