How Long is Funnel Cake Batter Good For

This funnel cake from pancake mix can be made a day or 2 in advance. After day 2, the pancake batter will not puff up and taste as good. I prefer to use the funnel cake batter right away.

Does The Best Funnel Cake Recipe Need to Be Fried

You do want to fry it to have the best funnel cakes at home. While many people think you have to deep fry the funnel cake, and this is the easiest way to fry the it, you can pan fry it as well. Use a deep frying pan if you are not using a need fryer.

This tastes just like the funnel cake you get at the county fair. I remember getting them when we would go to the fair or would walk down the board walk. When making it at home, I needed it to have the same amazing flavor as the County Fair.
