Take a state fair classic and top it with bacon bits, fresh blueberries, maple syrup, and powdered sugar for a dessert that’s blue ribbon good.

More About This Recipe

  • Your favorite state fair food at home, with blueberries and BACON. Dessert or breakfast? Do you really have to choose? Because the state fair should be a state of being. Because cake should always be funneled. Because bacon. These are just a few of the millionbillion reasons it made exact and perfect sense this summer to make BACON FUNNEL CAKES. And, since that wasn’t enough, I went and topped ‘em with blueberries. And maple syrup. And powdered sugar. The world will never be ready for such glory. But it's here! Bisquick starts it all off. The best recipes in the world shouldn’t take more than 6 minutes. Is it me, or is this, like, the most philosophical foodie blog post ever written? We’re going deep, man. Deep. Dig, Dive. Enjoy. Life is for the tasting.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • 2 cups Original Bisquick™
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Step 
    2
    In a large bowl, whisk together Bisquick™, milk, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  • Step 
    3
    Transfer batter into a large icing bag. Snip a 1-inch piece from the top of the bag. Test oil with a drip of the batter – if it sizzles, the oil is the right temperature.
  • Step 
    4
    Drizzle batter out of the bag into the skillet of hot oil, being careful not to splatter. As you drizzle the batter, swirl it in continuous circles several times, then drizzle the batter back and forth across the swirl.
  • Step 
    5
    Fry just until golden brown (about 1 minute). Use a long pair of tongs to gently flip the funnel cake over. Fry until second side is golden brown, about 30-45 seconds longer.
  • Step 
    6
    Using tongs, transfer funnel cake to a serving plate, or to drain on a paper towel first.
  • Step 
    7
    Top with bacon bits, blueberries, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy!
