Okay – I’ll try the squeeze bottle thing. My concern is that they don’t really hold a lot more than one funnel cake’s worth of batter. I tried using this:  but the hole was too small and you can’t squeeze it. So today I just cut a hole in a zip-loc bag, since I didn’t have anything else. It poured *very* quickly, so I don’t know that speed was the issue. It’s apparently a lot more tricky than I thought it would be! Or perhaps I’m just particularly inept. I didn’t buy a funnel cake pitcher like this:  because I thought it looked difficult to clean. Also, it can’t be sealed. I won’t be making them every other minute, unlike at an event, so I thought it would be best if I had something with a cover. I was keeping the batter in the fridge. Do you think the batter being cold had something to do with my problems? Do other people have issues with crunchies or cohesion? I do have a ring with a handle but maybe I’m taking it away too soon? I’d love to learn from others’ mistakes instead of having to invent my own! LOL!
