Ingredients/Components

• self-rising flour

• milk
• eggs, beaten - 2 item
• vegetable oil - 1 item
• sifted powdered sugar optional - 1 item

How to make funnel cakes:

Combine flour, sugar, milk and eggs in a bowl, beating until smooth. Heat 1/4-inch of oil to 375° in a skillet. Cover bottom opening of a funnel with finger (funnel with a 3/8-inch opening works best). Pour 1/4 cup batter into funnel. Hold funnel over skillet. Remove finger from funnel end to release batter into hot oil. Move funnel in a slow, circular motion to form a spiral.

Fry each funnel cake 1 minute or until edges are golden brown. Turn and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm. Yields 1 dozen (5-inch) cakes.
