Step-by-Step Instructions for Funnel Cake with Pancake Mix
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Use a hand mixer on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until the batter is thick yet smooth.
  2. Pour about 3 inches of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or heavy pot, and heat it over medium-high heat to reach 350°F.
  3. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a squeeze bottle, then carefully drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a circular, swirling motion.
  4. Allow the batter to fry for about 2 minutes until the edges turn golden brown, then flip and fry for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Once golden brown, remove the funnel cakes with a slotted spatula and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
