Instructions

Mix flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder and salt in large bowl until blended. Mix milk, 1/3 cup (75 ml) of the ketchup and egg in separate medium bowl until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture to milk mixture, stirring just until well blended (batter may be slightly lumpy). Let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil to 375°F (190°C) in large, deep skillet. Stir batter gently. Transfer to measuring cup with spout, squeeze bottle or large resealable plastic bag, working in batches if needed. (If using squeeze bottle or plastic bag for piping, cut opening to about 1/4-inch (0.5-cm) wide.) Carefully pour or squeeze batter into hot oil, moving in circles then side to side, overlapping as needed to create a disc.
Fry 2 to 3 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip funnel cake using tongs. Fry 2 to 3 minutes longer or until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to clean paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Drizzle warm funnel cakes with remaining ketchup and maple syrup just before serving. Sprinkle with bacon and green onion.

Test Kitchen Tips:

Funnel cakes can be made in different sizes, depending on your preference. Make multiple small funnel cakes at the same time, or one larger funnel cake depending on the size of your skillet.

Adjust heat as needed to maintain oil temperature at 375°F (190°C). If oil is not hot enough, batter will spread out instead of maintaining shape.
