Deep Fried Moon Pies Recipe

January 27, 2014 by Lisa Pinney

Deep Fried Moon Pies
Ok, freeze the Moon Pies for 1 hour before deep frying…
You’ll need oil, powdered sugar and some funnel cake mix…
What? !!!!
You don’t keep a can of funnel cake mix in your pantry?
What’s wrong with you!!  
It’s a staple just like butter, my friends…
Work with me here…
🙂
Well, now you know that you NEED this ALWAYS…
but…
if you don’t have any on hand today, 
you can use regular pancake or waffle mix…
 
The batter should be slightly thick…
I used 1 cup of mix and almost 1 cup of water…
Just keep stirring in the water little by little 
until it is the thickness you need…
don’t get frightened…
this is not rocket science…
you cannot mess up this deep fry batter…
trust me…
Set up the deep frying station…
In a small pot add a couple of inches of oil, 
or if you have a deep fryer, that works too…
Heat it to about 375 degrees…
 Batter the Moon Pies and carefully drop them 
one at a time in the hot oil…
 
When it browns and puffs up, turn it…
When it browns and puffs up, turn it…
Let it brown and remove with a slotted spoon…
Immediately roll in the powdered sugar….
It is delightfully amazing…
you’re welcome!
