• Start by pouring a couple of inches of oil into a heavy-bottomed frying pan and heat it to 350°F, ensuring a safe distance from the top to prevent splatters.

For Funnel Cake Fries:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients until they are well mixed.
• Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry mix, whisking until the batter is smooth and thick, reminiscent of pancake batter.
• Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a sturdy plastic bag with a small tip cut off. Carefully pipe strips into the hot oil, making 4-5 parallel lines.
• Fry the strips for about 2-3 minutes, turning gently to ensure they brown evenly. Once golden, remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
• Continue frying the fries until all of the batter has been cooked. Serve hot and enjoy your funnel cake fries with marshmallow fluff, jam, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar!
