Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the funnel cakes tough.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk. If it is too thin, add a little more flour.
- When frying the funnel cakes, be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the batter. If the oil is not hot enough, the funnel cakes will be greasy and undercooked.
