Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of evaporated milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. In a deep skillet or heavy pot, pour in enough oil to fill it about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C) over medium-high heat.
  3. Carefully pour the prepared batter into a squeeze bottle or a funnel. Drizzle the batter into the skillet in a circular motion, creating a lattice pattern. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
  4. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar over medium-low heat. Stir gently, cooking just until the strawberries soften and release their juices—about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Once the funnel cakes are golden brown and drained, dust them generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with the homemade strawberry sauce.
