Looking for an easy way to make funnel cakes when you’re craving fair food? Try this easy recipe using pancake mix to make your own, topped with fresh strawberries.

Pancake Mix Funnel Cakes

Heat canola oil to 325 degrees in a heavy-bottom 6-quart stockpot. Meanwhile, whisk together pancake and waffle mix, egg, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth. Let stand 10 minutes. 

Pour batter into a squeeze bottle with a 1/4-inch round opening. Drizzle batter (about 1/3 cup for each funnel cake) into hot oil, using a swirling motion. Fry about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, carefully turning halfway through. 

Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Garnish with chopped strawberries, if desired.
