Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- oil for frying
- powdered sugar for dusting or toppings of your choice
Whisk everything together in a large bowl until no lumps remain.
Batter should be smooth.
Heat oil to 350*F in a medium saucepan or cast-iron skillet.
Pour batter into a funnel with a 7/16" hole making sure to plug the hole with your finger.
Using a larger funnel makes the funnel cake strands too big and doughy and a smaller funnel makes them too small and crispy.
Holding the funnel about 1" above the oil, quickly swirl and zigzag the batter around in the oil. Fill in any large voids but leave some smaller ones.
Each funnel cake should use about 1/2 cup batter if using an 8" pan.
Fry until golden brown on the first side, about 1 minute.
Carefully turn and continue frying until golden brown on the second side.
Drain and serve on a double layer of paper plates.
Dust with powdered sugar or toppings of your choice! Makes about 9 (8") funnel cakes. Enjoy!
