  6. Place ¾ cup of batter into a funnel with a ½-inch opening (plugged with your finger). Funnel the batter into the hot oil in a swirling motion to make a 6- to 7-inch round. Fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping after 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.

  8. Dust funnel cakes with powdered sugar and serve warm. Serve them with ice cream, strawberries, and chocolate syrup, if you like!
  9. Tip: If you don't have buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar into 1 3/4 cups of whole milk and let it sit until slightly clabbered, about 15 minutes.
