Easy 7-Up No-Funnel Cake
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:

- Serves:

8
ingredients
- vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 1⁄3 cups instant pancake mix (the 'just add water' kind)
- 1 (12 ounce) can 7-Up soda
- 1⁄3 - 1⁄2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar, for dusting
directions
- Heat a couple inches of oil in a large pan or pot to about 375. I don't use a thermometer; I just stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil to test if it's ready. If it's hot enough, the little bubbles will form rapidly around the spoon.
- Combine the pancake mix, 7 Up, and coconut and mix thoroughly. Let sit for a minute or two.
- Spoon by one ladle-full at a time into the hot oil. The batter will spread out into a pancake shape. Fry until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side the same.
- Remove with a slotted spoon onto a wire rack to drain and cool, dust with the granulated sugar while hot.

This recipe didn't work out for me either. I only made one at a time and my electric fry pan has a light that goes out when the oil reaches the set temp. The first one I poured as directed and it was soggy and greasy in the middle. The second one I poured more like a funnel cake and turned up the temp slightly. That was too crispy. We picked at them but I gave up at that point and didn't make anymore. My 7 up may have been a little flat. Could that be the cause of my poor results?

I'm 22 and live near San Francisco with my boyfriend and 3 year old Chihuahua, Vincent. I've been in the Veterinary field for about 7 years but cooking and baking have always been my biggest passion. I'm also big into art, mainly painting and illustration, but I also do ceramics. I love music, too, I sing and play guitar. I love to cook for other people, and give food as gifts. I think that food and eating are taken for granted too often, and I try as much as possible to practice eating mindfully and taking my time to enjoy and relax with it.
