- Prepare Breadfruit Puree: First, you’ll need to puree the breadfruit. For this, you can use a ripe breadfruit, ensuring it’s soft enough to be mashed or blended into a smooth puree. If the breadfruit isn’t entirely soft, you might need to add a little milk to achieve the right consistency.
- Create the Batter: Combine typical funnel cake ingredients such as flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and sugar. To this, add your breadfruit puree. For a more flavorful twist, consider adding spices like nutmeg or vanilla extract, which are commonly used in breadfruit cake recipes.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix eggs and a liquid component (like milk or mango juice as used in some breadfruit recipes). Gradually combine this with the dry ingredients to form a batter. The consistency should be similar to that of traditional funnel cake batter – smooth and pourable.
- Frying: Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan. To form the funnel cakes, you can pour the batter through a funnel, holding your finger under the funnel’s spout to control the flow. Release the batter in a circular motion to form the cake’s shape.
- Cook and Serve: Cook until golden brown, flipping once to ensure even cooking. Serve hot, possibly dusted with powdered sugar or a topping of your choice.
