Many Americans adore the traditional fair-style funnel cake. Recreate the fun of the festival treat at home this Juneteenth with my version, made for individual consumption. They feature all that we love about funnel cake’s crisp, golden edges and pillowy, doughy center. A light ginger-tinged buttermilk glaze greets the funnel cakes after coming out of the fryer; they then get a colorful dusting of pulverized fruit and, if you choose, a shower of powdered sugar. These personal-size funnel cakes will be a crowd-pleaser for adults and little ones alike, with just the right amount of sweetness. To feed a crowd, you can easily double the recipe.
