My family loves funnel cakes...that is one reason they always want to visit the travelling carnivals in our area. This recipe makes a pretty good funnel cake and the ingredients are usually handy.

6 "8 inch" funnel cakes (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the eggs, milk and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, powder and salt and beat into egg mixture until smooth.
  3. 3
    In a chicken fryer or electric skillet, heat at least a half inch of oil to 375 degrees.
  4. 4
    (I used a chicken fryer and had to keep the heat on high the whole time) Using a measuring cup or a funnel (keep your finger over the bottom of the funnel) and using a about a 1/2 cup of batter, release your finger and move the funnel or measuring cup in a spiral motion, forming the cake.
  5. 5
    (Pour from several inches above the hot oil) Fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  6. 6
    Remove with tongs and place on paper plate or paper towels.
  7. 7
    Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. 8
    Dust each with confectioner's sugar and serve warm.

    I made these tonight for a treat, the rest of my gang were lucky to get any. These are absolutely delicious. I love funnel cakes I always get them when the carnival comes to our city. Thanks for posting such a great recipe.
