Easy Pumpkin Funnel Cakes Recipe
Ingredients
For this easy pumpkin funnel cakes recipe, you will need 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 large egg. You will also need oil for frying, powdered sugar, and a heavy-bottomed pot for the stovetop.
Instructions
First, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter and egg until completely combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined and no lumps remain. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Next, heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F. To test the temperature, insert a wooden spoon into the oil - if bubble form around the spoon, the oil is hot enough. Once the oil is hot, carefully pour the batter into the pot in a circular pattern. Cook the funnel cake for about 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown. Flip the funnel cake over and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown on the other side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel cake from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Finally, sprinkle the funnel cakes with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy!
