3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
3 cups flour — up to 4
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
Beat eggs and add sugar and milk. Sift half the flour salt and baking powder together and add to milk and egg mixture. Beat the batter smooth and add only as much more flour as needed. Batter should be thin enough to run through a funnel. Drop from funnel into deep, hot fat (375 F) Spirals and endless intricate shapes can be made by swirling and criss crossing while controlling the funnel spout with a finger. Serve hot with molasses, tart, jelly, jam or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
NOTE:
This recipe makes several funnel cakes make only about 1-1/2 inches thick when funneling into oil. When finished drain on paper towel, then add toppings as desired.
