Alright, let’s talk about these here strawberry funnel cake fries. You know, the kind that makes your mouth water just thinkin’ about ’em? Yeah, those ones.
First off, what are they? Well, they ain’t nothin’ fancy, I’ll tell ya that much. It’s like a funnel cake, you know, the kind you get at the fair? But ‘stead of bein’ a big ol’ circle, they’re cut up into strips, like fries. And then, bless their hearts, they put strawberries on top. Sometimes powdered sugar too, if you’re lucky.
Now, makin’ these things ain’t rocket science, though some folks try to make it sound all complicated. It ain’t. You just need some batter – flour, milk, eggs, a little sugar, that kinda stuff. Mix it all up good, so it ain’t got no lumps. You want it smooth, like a baby’s bottom, my grandma used to say.
- Mix flour, milk, eggs, and sugar.
- Make sure it’s smooth, no lumps.
Then, you gotta get yourself a squeeze bottle or somethin’ like a funnel, you know, the thing you use to pour gas into the lawnmower? Yeah, one of them. Fill it up with that batter. And you gotta have some hot oil. Not just warm, hot. But be careful, don’t go burnin’ yourself now. I ain’t got time to take you to the hospital.
Fryin’ time! Squeeze that batter into the hot oil, make some straight lines. Don’t go crazy, just a few at a time. Let ‘em fry till they’re golden brown, crispy like. That don’t take long, maybe a minute or so. You’ll see when they’re done. They get all puffy and pretty-like.
Once they’re fried, you gotta get ‘em outta that oil. Use a strainer thingy, or a fork, if that’s all you got. Just don’t use your hands, unless you want a trip to the emergency room, and nobody wants that. Let ‘em drain a bit on some paper towels, so they ain’t all greasy.
Now for the good part – the strawberries! Get yourself some fresh ones, if you can. Wash ‘em good, slice ‘em up, and pile ‘em on top of them fries. And if you got some powdered sugar, go ahead and sprinkle some on. Makes it look fancy, and tastes good too.
Some folks like to dip these fries in stuff. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, whatever you like. Me? I like ‘em plain, just with the strawberries and maybe a little sugar. But you do what you want, it’s your food.
These strawberry funnel cake fries, they ain’t just for the fair, you know. You can make ‘em at home anytime. They’re good for a party, or just for a treat on a Saturday afternoon. Kids love ‘em, and grown-ups too, if they ain’t too stuck-up to eat somethin’ fun.
And listen here, don’t be scared to try different things. Maybe you want to put blueberries on ‘em instead of strawberries. Or maybe you want to add a little cinnamon to the batter. Go ahead! It’s your kitchen, you can do what you want. That’s what I always say.
So, there you have it. Strawberry funnel cake fries. Easy to make, and even easier to eat. Now go on and make yourself some. And don’t forget to share, unless you want to eat the whole batch yourself, which, let’s be honest, is mighty temptin’.
One more thing, if you make a big mess, don’t worry about it. A little flour on the counter never hurt nobody. And if you burn the first batch, don’t fret none either. Just try again. Even I burn things sometimes, and I been cookin’ since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
So go on now, get cookin’! And enjoy those strawberry funnel cake fries. You deserve a little somethin’ sweet.
Remember what I said: crispy outside, fluffy inside. That’s how you know they’re good. And don’t skimp on the strawberries! That’s the best part, in my opinion.
Now, I gotta go. Got some dishes to wash. But you go ahead and have fun makin’ those fries. And if you make too many, well, you just bring ‘em on over here. I won’t turn down a good treat, that’s for sure.
