I tried making a funnel cake a few days ago and I didnt have a funnel, had to make one out of paper but that didnt stable. When I tried making the funnel cakes the mix kept getting stuck in the hole becuase of the paper, So what can I do to make funnel cakes come out perfect like the ones at a carnival or knotts ? Also can I put the funnel cake mix in a blender and make it more smoother without chunks of flour ?

Hi there,
To make funnel cakes, I don't use a funnel--I constantly burn myself while trying to do that. Trying using an empty plastic ketchup bottle... fill it up with your batter, and squeeze in the hot oil. It doesn't have to be a ketchup bottle--you can try any sort of bottle that you can squeeze the batter through (a water bottle may even work, though I've never tried it)--I personally like ketchup bottles because the hole in the lid is wide enough that the mixture can go through it. You have a lot of control if you use this method.
As for your second question, I guess you can put it in a blender, though I never tried that. Have you tried sifting your flour?

Take a paper plate and make a cut half way into the center from the outter edge. twist it into itself making a funnel or a cone shape ( you can close it tomake the opening as small or as large as you like) then tape it together. Fill it while a plate is on the bottom or put a paper towel on the hole (keeping it from spilling out until ready to use.)
Then drizzle the batter over the hot oil and only use as much as you need to make one at a time, this way you don't have an accident.

Use a measuring cup with a spout or buy a funnel, they can be found at the dollar store, for like a dollar.
A blender may make it too thin, try whisking it til lumps are smooth.

Sift the flour before mixing. Then cut the tip off of a ziploc bag.

Try using a 1 or 2 cup measuring cup or a large soup ladle.
