Funnel Cakes

Warning:  This is not one of our healthy choices.

They wanted to eat funnel cakes.  I am content to stay home and didn't want to take them to the fair.  They REALLY wanted funnel cakes.

They went to the store for vegetable oil because I didn't want them using up the coconut oil for this.

Anything would be good with this much powdered sugar.

This turned out really well.  I said they could not do it inside and they could not use the good pans over the fire.    They got a cast iron skillet out of the camping supplies.   This recipe made more than  double what the two of them could eat.

Momma's Fair Funnel Cakes

• 3 eggs
• ¹⁄₄ cup sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 3 ²⁄₃ cups flour
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. Beat eggs and sugar together and then add the milk slowly--beat. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy.
2. Pour batter into a funnel and at the same time, use your finger to plug the hole. In a large cast iron pot, add 2 inches of oil to the bottom.
3. When the oil becomes hot, move your hand over the pot and slowly release your finger so the batter can start cooking.
4. Move the funnel around to make designs.
5. Brown on both sides--then immediately remove and drain extremely well.
6. Top with brown sugar, or honey, or cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar as a topping.
7. BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GET BURNED!
