Funnel Cakes

So cool...it was like being at the state fair! We had Family Home Evening tonight and had Funnel Cakes for our treat! So quick, easy, and oh so fun!

1. Heat three cups of vegetable oil over medium high heat until it reaches 350-375 degrees.

2. Whisk together 4 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make a well, then add 2 1/2 cups milk 3 large eggs. Blend until smooth.

3. Put batter in gallon sized bag. Remove excess air, and seal. Cut 1/4 inch wide hole in bag. Carefully squeeze 1 cup of batter back and forth into oil making a free form lacy web. Cook until golden on bottom, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, turn the cake over and cook until golden brown on other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer funnel cake to paper towels to drain.

4. Dust funnel cakes with powdered sugar and serve warm. I also did some with drizzled honey and powedered sugar. And another with freezer strawberry jam with large chunks of strawberries...and then of course, powdered sugar.

These were quick and easy, and got 2 thumbs up from everyone.
