1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced

In a large bowl, add milk, egg, vanilla, and slightly melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Notes

Storage

Refrigerate for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
Microwave at 30-second intervals until heated through.

Tips

You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours until you're ready to use it.
Use a large saucepan to help reduce spattering and only fill it with about 2 inches of oil.
Be sure the oil is fully preheated and only fry one funnel cake at a time to ensure the oil stays hot.
It's best to let the strawberries sit for at least 30 minutes so they can create that delicious, sweet juice.
While you can reheat these funnel cakes, their flavor and texture are best when they're freshly made.
