Easy 7-Up No-Funnel Cake

1. 1

   Heat a couple inches of oil in a large pan or pot to about 375.

2. 2

   I don't use a thermometer; I just stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil to test if it's ready.

3. 3

   If it's hot enough, the little bubbles will form rapidly around the spoon.

4. 4

   Combine the pancake mix, 7 Up, and coconut and mix thoroughly.

5. 5

   Let sit for a minute or two.

6. 6

   Spoon by one ladle-full at a time into the hot oil.

7. 7

   The batter will spread out into a pancake shape.

8. 8

   Fry until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side the same.

9. 9

   Remove with a slotted spoon onto a wire rack to drain and cool, dust with the granulated sugar while hot.
