Funnel Cake

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup water

½ tsp vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

Oil for deep-fat frying

Sugar

In a large bowl,  beat eggs.  Add milk, water and vanilla until well  blended.  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; beat into egg mixture until smooth.  In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer,  heat oil.

Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger;  ladle ½ 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 until all the batter is released (scraping with a rubber spatula if needed).

Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.  Dust with sugar and serve warm.  Yield:  8 cakes

My daughter served us these for our weekend snacks.  Beats store-bought chips.  She had two types – the first one which are more cakey and the second one which are crunchy.  Both are good.  In addition to dusting the funnel cake with sugar,  we added condensed milk and grated Flat Tops chocolate.  Yummy! Completes your weekend.
