Description
You are never to old for a funnel cake!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Oil, For Frying
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Water
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- ¼ cups Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- Confectioners Sugar
Preparation
In a deep skillet (such as cast iron) heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. You want it to be 375 F.
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, water and vanilla until well blended. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a smaller bowl then beat it into the egg mixture until smooth.
Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 cup of batter into the funnel. Holding the funnel several inches above the oil, release your finger and move the funnel in a spiral motion or web pattern until all the batter is released. (You can use a gallon sized freezer bag instead of a funnel by pouring the batter into the bag, snipping off a small corner of it, and squeezing the batter into the oil.)
Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat frying the rest.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite toppings.
Makes 8 cakes.
