How To Make Funnel Cakes

Anyone can learn how to make funnel cakes! And once you do, you'll wonder why you'll been making this funnel cake recipe all the time!

3 eggs
2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of sugar
3 cups of self-rising flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla

vegetable oil for fying

powdered sugar for dusting
cinnamon sugar for dusting (1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon)

In a large bowl, cream together the eggs, sugar, milk and vanilla. Add the flour a little at a time mixing well between each addition. The batter will need to be thin enough to run through a funnel. You may need a little more or a little less flour to get the right consistency.

In an 8 inch skillet, heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.

Hold your finger over the bottom of a funnel and pour 1/2 cup of batter into the funnel. Hold the funnel close to the oil and remove your finger. Move the funnel in a circular motion so that the batter is spread around in the pan. Carefully turn the cake over with metal tongs or a metal spatula and brown the other side. This will take less than a minute.

Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar or top with your favorite pie filling!

**When I make funnel cakes, instead of using a funnel, I fill and empty ketchup bottle with batter and squirt it into the oil. I just eye-ball it to get the right amount! Much easier than using a funnel.
