Funnel Cakes- from Spend with Pennies

Makes 2 funnel cakes (barely). Great for fall. You will need a lot of oil for frying and a slotted spoon for turning and lifting and paper towels for draining the oil. 

Funnel Cake is a Fair Food that you can make for a fun party at home. You can enjoy crispy, fried funnel cakes with powdered sugar any time of the year. Pat used to love these as a teenager, but he likes donuts better now. Same concept though, ha ha. 

• 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

• 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.
