For extra crispy funnel cakes, ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. Use a thermometer to monitor the heat. Don't overcrowd the skillet; fry the cakes in batches to maintain the oil temperature and prevent them from sticking together. Experiment with different toppings! Try drizzling chocolate sauce, adding fresh fruit, or a dusting of cinnamon for a unique twist.
