How to Make Funnel Cakes

Ingredients

▢¼ cup milk
▢1 egg
▢1 tablespoon water
▢½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢1 tablespoon granulated sugar
▢¾ teaspoon baking powder
▢1 pinch salt
▢½ cup all purpose flour
▢4 Tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

In a large liquid measuring cup or batter bowl with a spout, whisk together milk, egg, water and vanilla.
Add sugar, baking powder and salt and whisk until combined.
Add the flour, and whisk until completely smooth. Set aside.
In a medium, deep-sided pan or pot, heat 1″ of oil to 375°F over medium-high heat. When you put the end of a wooden spoon in the pot and bubbles form around the spoon, it’s ready. Reduce heat to medium.
Drizzle batter from cup in a thin line, swirling around the pan and overlapping as desired. Cook for 2 minutes or until light golden brown, then flip and cook another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Dust with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and serve. Repeat one more time with the remaining batter.
