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!

County Fair Funnel Cakes
These are so yummy! What a great treat to make for a treat for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- oil for deep-frying
- confectioner's sugar - for dusting
Directions
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.)

My Funnel Cakes came out great.. My Family Loved them! I made 2 This Plate size Cakes.
I meant I made 4 Plate sized cakes
I just made the funnel cake, came out very good. I did add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the batter. Loved it, so did my family. To make it look like the funnel cakes from the fair, I put the batter in a pastry bag and squeezed it out in a circle then swirled it around back and forth so the batter could connect to each other. Plate size funnel cake came out great, with a good crisp to it. YUM. I added the strawberries and powered sugar..WOW!!! This is a keeper. I did try to pour the batter with the measuring cup but it poured out too heavy and wasn’t a steady flow. I was able to make 5 funnel cakes, though it depends on how many times you swirl the batter back and forth. Thank You, This is really good!
