POUR batter into a squeeze bottle with a 1/4-inch round opening. Or in a giant ziplock with a corner cut off.
DRIZZLE batter (about 1/3 cup for each funnel cake) into hot oil, using a swirling motion. FRY for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, carefully turning the entire cake halfway through.
