👩‍👧‍👦 Servings: 4 funnel cakes

⏲️ Prep: 5 mins

🍳 Cook: 5 mins

⌛ Total: 10 mins

🛍️ Ingredients:

2 eggs

2 Tbsp sugar

1 cup milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup confectioner’s sugar for sprinkling on top

Vegetable oil for frying

👣 Instructions:

1. In a large, thick-bottomed skillet, pour oil to about 2 inches deep. Preheat over medium-high heat while you make the batter.
2. In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat eggs, sugar, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
3. Test your oil by dropping a tiny sprinkling of flour into it. If the flour sizzles, the oil is hot enough and test at 370-375F (187-190C) using a thermometer. Once it tests hot enough, turn the temperature down to medium.
4. The portion about ½ cup of batter into a measuring cup. Slowly drizzle batter into oil in a thin stream, swirling and crisscrossing the batter over itself.
5. Fry on each side until golden brown (about 90 seconds per side) then remove to a paper-towel-lined plate.
6. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
7. Repeat with remaining batter but make sure that oil returns to temperature in between batches.
