Golden Funnel Cake Fries: A Fun Twist on a Fair Favorite

Funnel cake fries are best enjoyed immediately while they’re still crispy and warm.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore some of the crispiness, although they won’t be quite as crispy as when fresh.
You can also top these fries with whipped cream, sprinkles, or a drizzle of fruit syrup for added flair.
Variants:

Churro Funnel Cake Fries: Sprinkle the fried fries with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar instead of powdered sugar for a churro-inspired version.
S’mores Funnel Cake Fries: Drizzle the fries with chocolate syrup and marshmallow fluff, and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers for a fun, s’mores twist.
Fruit Topping Funnel Cake Fries: Serve with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey or whipped cream for a light and refreshing take.
Savory Funnel Cake Fries: For a savory variation, reduce the sugar in the batter and sprinkle the fries with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese after frying.
FAQ:

Can I use a different type of flour for the batter?
Yes, you can use gluten-free flour or whole wheat flour as a substitute, but the texture may vary slightly. Make sure to use a flour with a similar texture to all-purpose flour for the best results.

Can I make these funnel cake fries in advance?
Funnel cake fries are best eaten fresh, as they tend to lose their crispiness over time. However, you can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before frying.

What dipping sauces can I serve with these fries?
These fries are versatile and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. Popular options include chocolate sauce, strawberry or raspberry syrup, caramel sauce, or even vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.

Can I bake these instead of frying them?
While frying creates the signature crispy texture, you can bake these funnel cake fries by placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and baking them at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. They won’t be as crispy but will still be delicious!
