What temperature should the oil be when frying funnel cakes?

The ideal temperature for frying funnel cakes is 375°F (190°C).

Here's why:

* Too low: The funnel cake will absorb too much oil and become greasy.

* Too high: The funnel cake will burn on the outside before the inside is cooked.

To test the oil temperature:

* Use a candy thermometer.

* Drop a small piece of batter into the oil. It should sizzle and rise to the surface quickly.

Important Note: Make sure the oil is deep enough to completely submerge the funnel cake. This will ensure even cooking.
