Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and a splash of vegetable oil. Whisk until the batter is smooth yet thick.
  2. In a deep skillet, pour vegetable oil until it's about 3 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
  3. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or squeeze bottle and swirl over the hot oil to create a lacy pattern.
  4. Fry the funnel cakes for about 2 minutes on the first side until golden brown, then carefully flip to fry the other side for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Transfer the funnel cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil, then sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving warm.
