Funnel Cakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until you get a smooth, pourable batter, a bit thinner than pancake batter.
4. Heat about an inch and a half of oil in a deep pan to 375°F.
5. Pour the batter into the oil in a swirling, weaving pattern, either straight from a measuring cup or through a funnel.
6. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden, flip once, then drain on paper towels and dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
