This funnel cake recipe is simpler to make than doughnuts, and it’s just as good!
Ingredients
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup 2% milk
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Oil for deep-fat frying
Confectioners’ sugar
Directions
-In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, water, and vanilla until well blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; beat into egg mixture until smooth. In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°.
-For each cake: Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 cup batter into the funnel. Holding the funnel several inches above the oil, release your finger and move the funnel in a spiral motion until all the batter is released, scraping with a rubber spatula if needed.
-Fry until golden brown, 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners’ sugar; serve warm.
