Vegan Fried Dough Dippers (funnel cake fries)

IMG_7837.jpg

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups plant based milk
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients together, then mix in milk and vanilla.
  2. Put batter into a quirt bottle (I used an old school ketchup bottle from the dollar tree) or a zip lock bag with a small hole cut in the corner, so the batter can come out.
  3. Heat a half inch of oil suitable for frying in a pan until it is sizzling hot. (I use grape seed oil, but you can use peanut, or canola, whatever you normally use for frying)
  4. Squirt out batter into a squiggle or any other shape you want, and let the dough fry just a minute or two on each side.
  5. The dough will fry quickly, so once it begins to bubble, and the bubbles pop, its ready to flip.
  6. Put finished dough on a cooling rack or paper towel- lined plate.
  7. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite dip.
