We have had many requests for funnel cakes. You can make these at home with a little preparation. They will certainly cost less than the five dollar price tag we often see on these!

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 C. milk
1/4 C. packed brown sugar
2 C. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
oil for deep-frying
confectioner’s sugar – for dusting
In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and brown sugar. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; beat into egg mixture until smooth. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees. Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 cup batter into funnel. Holding the funnel several inches above the skillet, release finger and move the funnel in a spiral motion until all of the batter is released (scraping funnel with a rubber spatula if needed). Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Dust with confectioners’ sugar; serve warm. (Note that the batter can be poured from a liquid measuring cup instead of a funnel.)
