Yield Makes 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts canola oil
2 extra-large eggs
2 cups nonfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons pure almond extract
1/4 cup orange-flower water
4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup non-melting or confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a low-sided six-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees. Line a baking pan with paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, honey, almond extract, and orange-flower water in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, granulated sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg mixture. Using a whisk, gradually draw the flour mixture into the egg mixture, whisking until smooth before drawing in more flour.
  • Fit an 18-inch pastry bag with a #3 tip. Fill bag with one-sixth of the batter. Pipe long squiggles directly into the hot oil. Cook until the dough has risen to the surface and is golden brown on the bottom, about 1 minute. Turn over, and cook until completely golden, 1 minute more. Using a slotted spoon, remove from hot oil and transfer to lined pan. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • When cool enough to handle, sift non-melting sugar over fried dough, and serve.

The batter was a little too thick for my funnel cake maker, but I was still able to make some delicious funnel cakes.

I'm not a big fan of funnel cakes, but these were really good. The buttermilk gave them a unique flavor that I really enjoyed.

I've never had funnel cakes before, but these were incredible. The crispy exterior and the soft, fluffy interior were the perfect combination.

These funnel cakes were amazing! The batter was so light and fluffy, and the buttermilk gave them a delicious tang. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
