Funnel Cake

3 eggs

3 c. flour

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 c. milk

1 c. water

2 tbsp sugar

1/4 tsp salt

t tbsp baking powder


4 c. sunflower oil for frying


1) 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 to 375°.



2) Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 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).
