  • 1 package funnel cake mix (carnival deluxe)
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Step 1: Combine funnel cake mix pouch and 1 1/3 cups of water in bowl. Whisk until smooth. Batter should be comparable to that of waffle or pancake batter. Pour funnel cake batter into pitcher.

  • Step 5: Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cinnamon-sugar or your favorite topping while still warm.
