Juneteenth is a celebration of the day enslaved people were officially freed from bondage on June 19, 1865. We celebrate and remember our ancestors and their sacrifice with red dishes symbolizing the bloodshed. These red velvet funnel cakes are a great addition for your Juneteenth festival or block party.

Yields1 Serving

2 cups All purpose flour

1 ½ tsp Baking powder

3 tbsp Granulated sugar

½ tsp Salt

1 Cocoa Powder

1 ¾ Milk

2 Eggs

2 tsp Vanilla extract

Red food coloring

Vegetable oil, for frying

½ cup Powdered sugar

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder). Mix well. Pour in wet ingredients (milk, eggs, vanilla extract) and mix until well incorporated and smooth. Add in several drops of red food coloring until desired color is achieved. Mix well. Pour batter into funnel pourer or squeeze bottle.

Fill frying pan 1 to 2 inches high with oil.

Once oil is hot, pour batter into oil and create desired shape. To get the best funnel cakes, move the pourer around quickly creating overlapping crisscross and circular patterns.

Fry for 30 seconds to a minute until golden brown and funnel cake is floating on top of oil. Flip and fry other side for another minute.

Carefully remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and decorate with any additional toppings, candies, or melted chocolate. Serve immediately.
