Chanukah is the best time to have fun with fried foods. That’s why funnel cakes got a savory twist this year with some fun toppings.

 

Yields 6-8 cakes

Ingredients

Savory Funnel Cakes

  • 1 teaspoon onion salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper, such as Gefen

Garlic Knot Variation

  • 4 tablespoons chopped parsley

  • 4 to 5 tablespoons grated parmesan

Falafel and Tahini Variation

  • 1/4 teaspoon Gefen Cumin

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

Everything But the Bagel Variation

  • 1 teaspoon sour cream

  • 1/2 teaspoon everything but the bagel spice

Directions

Prepare the Funnel Cakes

1.

In a medium bowl, combine the egg, water, and milk. Add the flour, baking powder, onion salt, salt, and black pepper and mix until you get a loose, lump-free batter. (If preparing the Falafel and Tahini funnel cakes, add the seasonings now.)

2.

Heat two inches of oil in a skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Reduce to medium heat.

3.

Transfer batter to a squeeze bottle and squeeze out into the hot oil or pour through a funnel, swirling around to create overlapping strings in a circle. Work in batches, not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for two to three minutes per side, or until golden brown.

4.

Transfer to a paper-towel-lined dish to absorb excess oil and top with your favorite toppings while still hot:   · Garlic Knot: In a small bowl, mix parsley, parmesan, and garlic. Top each funnel cake and serve.   · Falafel and Tahini: Drizzle with tahini before serving.   · Everything but the Bagel: Smear sour cream over the funnel cakes and top with everything but the bagel spice.
