Funnel Cake

Funnel Cake

3 eggs beaten

2 cups of whole milk

1/2 cup of sugar

3 cups of self-rising flour not plain flour

1 teaspoon of vanilla

canola oil for frying

powdered sugar for dusting

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



Get a large bowl, cream together the eggs, sugar, milk and vanilla. Add the flour a little at a time mixing well. The batter will need to be thin enough to run through a funnel.

In an 8 inch and about 3 inches deep skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees

Hold your finger over the bottom hole 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 skillet. when edges start to brown turn the cake over with 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!
