Funnel Cakes

Funnel Cake

My son had tried a funnel cake for the first time, a few weeks ago.  He evidentally loved it because he had asked me a few times if I knew how to make them. Since today is the first day of summer vacation -- I decided that today would be the day.

It was the first and last time I will make funnel cakes.

Funnel Cakes

        3 eggs
        1/4 cup sugar
        2 cups milk
        3 1/3 cups flour
        1/2 teaspoon salt
        2 teaspoons baking powder
        vegetable oil, for frying(I used Canola and it was fine)

Directions

    Beat eggs and sugar together and then add the milk slowly--beat. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy. Pour batter into a funnel and at the same time, use your finger to plug the hole. In a large cast iron pot, add 2 inches of oil to the bottom. When the oil becomes hot, move your hand over the pot and slowly release your finger so the batter can start cooking. Move the funnel around to make designs. Brown on both sides -- then immediately remove and drain extremely well. Top with brown sugar, honey, cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar as a topping. BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GET BURNED!
