These are awesome little things! I found the flavour to be great, although the texture was grainy. They cooked up quickly. Nice for a treat!

Do you have any method or experience that would help in accounting for a realistic quantity of oil "used" when deepfrying? Something I haven't come up with yet, but would be very interested...

It sure would!
Short of measuring the quantity oil before and after frying, I can't think of anything. That would be easiest when shallow frying. I have measured fat run-off from meat by the tablespoonful and deducted that.

I make shallow fried pakoras sometimes. I need to figure out how much oil they absorb on average too. For things like crepes I just spray the pan with oil and count that in my daily totals. Sometimes I 'fry' onions in a non-stick pan without any fat at all!
It is a concern to people like myself who need to keep tight control of calories in order to lose.

Saw this recipe this afternoon.... had to make them right away.... before dinner LOL

They were excellent! I actually had to make a second batch - - - my 2, 4, and 6 year old sons devoured them all before I got any. Even my non-LC hubby thought they were very good... this is alot coming from him.

This is a big WINNER AND A KEEPER!!!!
Thank you so much for finding my Krispy Kreme replacement!

I have read all the great reviews and these do sound like something wonderful but I keep wondering if they will taste like protein powder? I can barely stomach protein shakes when I drink them because I just dont like that protein taste. I dont like bars or atkins shakes either. Do these have that protein flavor to them? I have some french vanilla designer whey just sitting in my cabinet and I would love to try something with them that would be edible.

Well, I may not be the best judge since I enjoy protein shakes (although only with the whey powder - Atkins RTD shakes taste gross to me), but I LOVED these doughnut holes! They tasted just like the real thing to me, more like the funnel cake taste than a heavier doughnut taste. If anything, they were almost too sweet - *almost*. What the heck, give it a shot! This recipe is one of the few things I will make with my Designer Whey other than shakes.

i too detest the flavour of whey protein shakes, i have to use one that has some kind of 'flavour burst' techonology that wraps the protein in a flavoured covering that disguises that horrible taste....i'll try this recipe w/my leftover regular vanilla whey and see how it is

I didn't taste the protein powder in them either but I also like the shakes. I'd be interested to know if you can taste it or not. Please let us know. For me, I can't stomach anything with pork rinds!

Honestly, I really couldn't taste the protein powder flavor. I use Amplify vanilla by Release. I get it from GNC. It is mild and doesn't taste bad at all. It also mixes into recipies well, not sure how it mixes with plain water to make a shake though, I never tried it.

This looks like a great recipe to try, but as a Brit who has never heard of 'funnel cake' I am trying to work out how you would cook it if you want to make a funnel cake (or cakes? - I cant tell from the googled images what sort of size a funnel cake is!)

Do the 'ribbons' join up into one big blob or do they stay wiggled around and separated?

If you go to fairs in the U.S., I think funnel cakes are like 5-6 inches in diameter or even as big as a dinner plate. But, yes they sort of join up since the batter expands when fried. Think of dropping a string in 1 spot. Reminds me of snowflakes or doilies. HTH.

Take a ziplock bag, fill with the funnel cake batter, cut off an end, and pipe it into very hot grease. The first part of the batter starts cooking as soon as it hits, so the strings kind of keep thier shape, but cook together where they touch, like when donuts fry too close together.
