Like funnel cakes but in strip form, these light and airy dessert fries are easy and fun to prepare.

1

In medium bowl, whisk together Pearl Milling Company^® Original Pancake and Waffle Mix, sugar and salt. Whisk in 1/2 cup cold water and vanilla until combined. The batter should be cakelike in consistency — not too thick and not too runny. Adjust with 1 to 2 tbsp water if needed.
2

Transfer batter to piping bag fitted with 1/4-inch round tip.
3

Pour enough oil into medium saucepan or high-sided skillet to reach 4 inches up sides of pan. Heat over medium heat until shimmering or instant-read thermometer registers 350°F.
4

In batches, pipe 3 to 4 strips of batter into hot oil, each about 5 inches long. Fry for 45 to 60 seconds, flipping once, until golden brown. Transfer pancake fries to paper towel–lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with remaining batter.
5

Dust pancake fries with confectioners’ sugar and drizzle with Pearl Milling Company^® Original Syrup. If desired, serve with whipped cream and strawberries.

Alternatively, serve pancake fries with syrup, whipped cream and chocolate sauce for dipping.
If serving pancake fries nacho-style, substitute whipped cream with vanilla ice cream.
