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

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.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
