3 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Mix the eggs, milk and vanilla together and add to the dry ingredients. Mix until well blended.
Heat oil until hot in deep fat fryer. Put the mixture into a large zip type freezer bag. Snip the end of the bag and carefully drizzle the funnel cake batter in a zig zag pattern into the oil. Turn after the cake has browned and the batter is cooked through and brown both sides. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar.
To help retain the round shape I use a large food grade can with both ends cut out.
Makes 10 cakes about 6 inches in diameter.
