- Add the oil to a medium frying pan and allow to heat over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot transfer a 1/4 cups of batter to a piping bag using a ladel or large spoon. Snip the tip of the piping bag and carefully stream the batter into the hot oil using a sprial motion, to form the classic funnel cake shape.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes then gently flip using a spider or fish fryer. Allow to fry for and 1-2 minutes.
- Using your spider gently remove the funnel cake from the oil and transfer to the lined rack to drain and cool.
- Repeat this process with the remaining batter until all of it is used.
- Top each funnel cake with a generous dollop of strawberry sauce and dust with icing sugar.
- Enjoy immediately!
