The bf and I got fun-daes once - a sundae on top of funnel cake. Sadly, the funnel cake was sub-par and still kind of frozen and just.. disappointing. I need to try to make this so we can make our own fundaes at home!

Can you use almond flour for it to be gluten free gluten free?

Yes, you can make these with almond flour - you just might need to slightly adjust the ratio of the rest of the ingredients, so your donuts don't turn out soggy.

Is 1/2c. butter correct or should it be 1/2 stick butter. Just took these out of the oven but my goodness there is butter just ozzing out, and they aren't much bigger than when I piped them. They just aren't right Seems to be too much butter, they are greasy and not holding together. Just wondering

You are absolutely correct - the recipe should have called for a half stick of butter. We updated the recipe so no one else will make that mistake. We sincerely apologize about this error! We hope that you'll try it again.
