Funnel cake looks real strange actually. It's baked and sometimes it looks like worms or ropes mixed up somehow. And there's sugar on it. I can't really describe it. But that's how it looks to me.

Funnel cake is a sweet batter, you heat up a fry pan of grease and pour the batter through a funnel spiraling into a round rope shape, once both sides are fryed you top with powdered sugar hmmmm

Hello there!

Be forewarned, I haven't actually tried this but I can't see why it wouldn't work...

Try making Bette hagman's batter for cream puffs (From Gluten-Free Gourmet). Instead of making puffs and baking the dough, pour it into a ziploc bag and heat some oil to 350 for deep frying. When ready to go, snip off enough of one corner of the bag to pipe out a nice stream of batter. Use this makeshift piping bag to pipe overlapping circles into your oil. Fry each "funnel cake" until golden brown on each side. Make sure you don't overcrowd the fryer, I'd probably only do 1, 2 max at a time. Top with your choice of cinn-sugar, or powdered sugar.

A couple of hints:

I KNOW there is a thread on here that contains Bette's recipe for cream puffs, it should be in this same recipe category, maybe about 1-2 months back.

Make sure your batter isn't really runny. When her recipe is made right it has a nice almost firm texture. If its still kind of soupy, you need to mix it longer. If that doesnt work, try again with less shortening then called for in the recipe.

As I said, I haven't tried this yet (although I intend to). I saw on "Good Eats" (I'm a food network fanatic) that you can use regular cream puff batter this way to make funnel cakes so I'm crossing my fingers it will work for us too.

Anyway if you have some free time perhaps you'd like to try this experiment. If not, I'll let you know in a few weeks when I have the time!

ciao

Amy

sorry.. 2 more cents...

you could actually try using the funnel instead of the ziploc bag or try using a plastic ketchup bottle. You will have lots of control when piping out your funnel cake design... GO NUTS!

Gluten Free Kitchen - Roben Ryberg

Funnel Cake

1/2 cup potato starch

1/2 cup cornstarch

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

pinch of salt

1 egg

3/4 teaspoon vinegar

3/4 cup milk

2cups vegetable oil for frying

1/2 cup powdered sugar for topping

Directions -

Heat oil to 375 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add egg and vinegar. Slowly add milk, mix until there are no lumps.

Pour batter into squeeze bottle. Squeeze out 1/3 cup of the batter into the oil forming your swirl/ criss-cross design. (Or you can use a spoon.)

Cook until lightly browned. Flip over and brown the other side. Remove to a paper towel covered plate, and while it is still warm sprinkle with the powdered sugar.

Makes 6 cakes

I really like this cook book! Well worth the money.

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      By Crossaint · Posted

      Was recently diagnosed with Celiac after almost 16 years of suffering. The first week gluten free was amazing, my brain was working, i wasnt as bloated, i even started to not have to use the toilet 12 times in an hour. Excellent! But i keep having uncontrollable cravings for gluten. My mom is an amazing baker, woth no sympathy for my weakness and live for food, so of cohrse i ended up eating a bunch of gluten today. i dont know how to stop, i know its poison but at the end of the day i just feel like i need it. Will be re attempting gluten free tomorrow, but im scared that i wont be able to stop myself from eating the deliciously poisonous devil that gluten is. 😞

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      I wanted to say hello, and add that  early in eating gluten free I had  to avoid processed foods due to too many ingredients. I also had additional intolerances that needed time to subside. My team suggested I limit gluten free processed foods, as I was having issues with items with too many ingredients. I see Trents explained some of the culprits when he responded.  I found it helpful to go whole foods  diet. When I need inspiration I found Paleo and AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) recipes helpful to offer variety to my palate.  Often our bodies in the early stages prefer we go whole foods/ minimal processed foods. In turn, I realized I prefer freshly made salad dressing which I still make to this day. My pocketbook also finds making my own has its benefits.    Best wishes.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      As @trents stated the pancreas does not produce lactase enzyme.  Most humans lose the ability to create enough lactase.  Some say milk is only for babies. But, by eating brined fermented foods like dill pickles and sourkraut, the Lactobacillus from these foods set up colonies in your gut and excrete lactase so we can eat dairy.  Most pickles sold in supermarkets are quick pickled, the vinegar gives them the texture and taste, but not the nutritional benefits.  Vinegar's acidity can inhibit or even kill Lactobacillus strains.  They need to be salt fermented.  And antibiotics kill them along with their prescribed target.  I used to make my own.  It takes about 10 days, depending on the sourness and crunchiness you prefer, then store in the fridge.  Bubbies Kosher Dill pickles and Ba-Tampte are the one's my Publix carries in the refrigerate area.  Never both at the same time though.  And there's Katz's Delicatessen in NY will ship.  I loved everything at Katz's. Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] Regarding the fats in milk.  Commercial dairies use additives to the feed to increase milk volume and milkfat.  Unfortunately the fat added are the C:16 fats but not the C:18 healthy fats, giving commercial dairies milk an omega 6:3 ratio of 5:1, inflammatory.  Organic milk's (30% pasture fed) ratio is 3:1 and Grassfed milk is 1:1.  Grass fed (pasture fed) milk in my opinion tastes much better, and is less inflammation.  It tastes so good, like the milk the milkman delivered to us in the fifties.  Another case of how overprocessed our food is today.  Even the 0%Fat Grassmilk tastes good. Only Ireland and New Zealand produce mostly pasture fed milk commercially.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?
