How to Make Funnel Cake & Strawberry Sauce Homemade

[Kakichum]

I feel lije the strawberry flavor is richer if you use frozen strawberries instead of the fresh ones

[kryssi0604]

im a funnel cake junkie and most online recipes usually dont come out looking like the carnivals i look forward to trying yours.

[MRBLACKPEARL04]

Fast way. Use pancake mix and for the sauce just cut the strawberries and add sugar and let them sit for 30minutes. If you make the sauce a day before they become way better. U can also try other fruits. Enjoy!

[goluckyful]

yay, i just made it and it's really good, but i didn't have milk so i used 1/2+1/8 water and 1/3 condenced milk, and because i didn't have strawberries i used blueberries. :D

[crazy4llamas]

is this sugary enough? can i add more sugar?



[xoxocams]

Just tried this today! Thank you! My family loved it!!!!!

[brittanybeers]

watery thick consistency? Lol

[truluv325]

[c0wdyswa]

[bluepaperback]

[welldressed817]

[CraziiGirl123456]

It's Making Me HUNGRY !!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡

[reanna0409]

gahh!! this is making me so hungryy!!! the best part is that its really easy to make and all the stuff she uses you'll probably have at home :)

[MizKiwii]

why couldn't you just mix the lemon juice with the dry ingredients before putting it into the pot?

[YasminForeverful]

It looks so easy! This will be my first desert for 2012! Happy New Year!

[TeszDrew]

Is there any other fruit I can use? Like apples or pineapples?

[JasmineJomayne14]

Do we have to use canola oil? Could we use another kind?

[gatlast]

love love this video. Funnel cakes are one of my favorite indulgence. I just ordered me a funnel so I can't wait to start making my own funnel cake. More food videos.

[AprilAthena7]

@gatlast Wonderful! What type of funnel did you order? The one I bought from Michael's is great cause you can close the funnel and control how much batter you use.

[gatlast]

@AprilAthena7

I believe its the same funnel you used in this video. I ordered it from amazon, from the link you provided in the info box. thanks for the link.

[AprilAthena7]

@gatlast Yes, it's the same funnel. :)

[roxiemoxie102793]

That looks so delicious April! :D

[AprilAthena7]

@roxiemoxie102793 Thank you!

[carmenlee02]

I love your cooking videos! I made my bf the crepes and he loved it!:)

My two year anniversary is coming up just in a month or so, and i was thinking of making him a dinner or lunch. If you can, would you be able to make a video on preparing a meal for a special occasion?

[AprilAthena7]

@carmenlee02 I have a dinner lunch video called homemade pesto meal. Justin loves it cause it comes with sausages.

[b18utterfli]

i'm making this tonight.. yay!! so excited. thanks so much for sharing it April.

[RandomRoshini]

Did I miss what temp. she had the oil on when she added the batter, or did she just keep it on low the whole time?

[AprilAthena7]

@dluciano08 I kept it on low then when I was about to fry the batter it went up a tad mid to medium low. :) 

[dluciano08]

@AprilAthena7 Thanks I can't wait to try this out... I love all your videos especially these cooking ones... my boyfriend will be pleasantly surprised!!!

[ThEePiCgOoFyKiD]

Lol i think its cuz the first one always comes out retarded o_0 and then for the rest i had to leave it in the oil for a while cuz i didnt want all the oil to splatter on me so i turned it lower than it was sposed to be. it made like 6 big ones.

[AprilAthena7]
