Funnel Cakes
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs and the
milk. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture, and beat with a
mixer until smooth. The consistancy should be thin enough
to run through a small kitchen funnel. Test it, and if
it is too thick beat in a little more milk; if too thin,
beat in a bit more flour.
In an eight inch skillet, heat the oil to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
Put your finger over the bottom opening of the funnel,
and fill the funnel with a generous 1/2 cup of the batter.
Hold the funnel close to the surface of the oil, and
release the batter into the oil while making a circular
motion. Fry until golden brown. Use tongs and wide spatula
to turn the cake over carefully. Fry the second side one
minute. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with sifted confectioners' sugar.
