Notes

How to Serve Crispy Funnel Cake Sticks
Serve these crispy sticks warm, dusted with powdered sugar. They make a great dessert or snack for any occasion. You can even offer some chocolate or caramel sauce on the side for dipping!
How to Store Crispy Funnel Cake Sticks
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven to crisp them back up!
Tips to Make Crispy Funnel Cake Sticks
  • Test the oil temperature with a drop of batter; it should sizzle and float right away.
  • Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for better control when piping the batter.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pot while frying to ensure even cooking.
Variation
You can add different flavors to the batter, like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice. You can also try topping them with fruit or ice cream for an extra treat!
