Easy Funnel Cake Recipe

Mix store-bought pancake mix and water. (Batter should be pourable. If too thick, add water, a little at a time.) Pour vegetable oil into a heavy pan over medium heat until 2 inches high. When oil is hot, pour batter into pan through a funnel, forming spirals. (You can also transfer the mixture to a squeeze bottle or pastry bag and pipe mixture into oil). Cook until brown on one side. Turn to brown the other side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.

Pile funnel cakes on a serving platter and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with strawberry pie filling. Serve hot.
