funnel cake
Fried fairground treat
Funnel cake is a fried dough pastry made by drizzling batter through a funnel into hot oil in a circular pattern, creating a web of crispy, overlapping strands.
Dusted with powdered sugar and served warm, it's a staple of American carnivals, fairs, and boardwalks: We split a funnel cake after the roller coaster.
