Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 cups Bisquick™ Original baking mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • Icing sugar, for topping

Steps

  • 1
    Pour oil about one inch deep into a large saucepan or stockpot. Heat over medium heat until a candy thermometre reads 350°F to 360°F.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, combine Bisquick™, milk and eggs in a large bowl; stir until well mixed with as few lumps as possible. Pour the batter into squeeze dispenser bottles for easy pouring into the hot oil.
  • 3
    When oil is fully heated, carefully squeeze batter in a circular motion, close to the oil, until a mini funnel cake forms (don't make more than 2 cakes at a time). Fry 30 seconds on each side until golden brown, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • 4
    Repeat with remaining batter, making sure oil temperature stays within 350°F to 360°F.
  • 5
    Let the cakes drain and cool slightly on a paper towel-lined baking sheet or plate. When all the cakes are fried and slightly cooled, sprinkle the tops with icing sugar.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Pro tip: I like to cut the spouts of the bottles as low as possible so the opening is bigger and therefore less likely to get clogged up by a rogue lump of batter.
