You know those adults who love Disneyland more than their kids? Or even plan trips there without them? Ya, I am one of those people! Haha! I don’t know when this Disney obsession began but I swear it gets worse the older I get! One of my favorite desserts in Disneyland is the Churro Funnel Cake from the Hungry Bear Restaurant. I’ve recreated it at home the best I can to tide me over until the next time I get to the park. 🙂 This Churro Funnel Cake is a homemade funnel cake, topped with cinnamon and sugar, caramel and whipped cream. It tastes even better than it sounds!

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups water
• 2 ½ Tablespoons sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ cup caramel syrup for topping
• 1 cup whipping cream for topping

Instructions

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2½ Tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.

• Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.

• Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

• One at a time, pipe the dough directly into the hot oil in a spiral motion, pinching the dough off once the desired size has been reached.

• Cook until dough puffs and turns golden brown, turning halfway through so both sides evenly cook, about 3-5 minutes total.

• Carefully remove from oil and place on a paper towel-covered plate to drain for 30-60 seconds.

• Mix 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a shallow dish or pie pan.

• Dip the cooked funnel cakes into the cinnamon/sugar mixture and coat both sides. Shake off excess.

• Serve immediately topping each one caramel sauce and whipped cream.

Notes

You will need about 2 quarts of oil for frying.
