Red Velvet Funnel Cake

This summer our family went to the Great Texas Balloon Race in Longview, Tx.

The balloons were beautiful! We got to watch them blow them up. Very interesting. Once they were completely blown up, they were enormous!! These guys were at a minimum of 6 stories.

They had concession stands just like any festival, which meant funnel cake... a must eat!!
The first night we went, it rained us out. We thought would get some the next night..... bug mistake.
The lines had 20+ people in them. I told the boys when we came home I would make them some. I happen to see on the sign that they had Red Velvet!!! What?! I have never heard such a thing.

I was now on a mission. When making normal funnel cakes, you pretty much want to use pancake batter. I already had a box of red velvet cake in the pantry but the tricky part would be getting it to thicken like pancake batter. It turned out to be easier than I expected.

Red Velvet Funnel Cake:

Ingredients:

• 1 box Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix
• 1 C. Flour
• 1 1/2 C. Buttermilk
• 2 Eggs

•  Criso (for frying)
• Powdered Sugar (topping)

Directions:

In a standing mixing bowl, mix together the flour and cake mix.
In a separate bowl, beat together the buttermilk and eggs.
Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and beat until there are no more lumps.

Warm up oil in pan on medium.
Using a funnel or cake icier drizzle into grease.
I made a circle first and then weaved the inside.
It won't take long to cook, so be careful not to burn it.  It will start to fluff a little and turn darker. Flip once, unless you used enough grease to submerge it.
Place on your plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tah-dah. Enjoy!
