2 c. milk (1 pint)
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Sifted all-purpose flour
Cooking oil
Confectioner's sugar
At just about every fair and festival (and ballparks and such) you'll find funnelcake stand. If you can't wait until Founder's Day comes around again, make funnel cake at home!
In a large bowl, mix milk and eggs. Beat thoroughly. Add vanilla, baking powder and salt, and mix. Beat in enough flour to make a batter the consistency of pancake batter.
Add enough oil to a deep skillet to measure 1 inch deep. Heat until oil is quite hot, about 375 degrees. Pour batter through a funnel into the pan beginning at outside rim edge and working it around gradually to center (cross over the batter here and there to make a spider-web-ish pattern). Fry to a light brown color (like fried dough). Remove with tongs to paper towels for draining.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar, or serve with maple syrup or cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
