Funnel Cakes
Ingredients
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup milk (or water)
2 whole large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
oil for frying ( I used 4 cups of canola which is what I had on hand)
confectioner's sugar for serving
Directions
Add flour, corn starch, baking soda, salt, sugar and cinnamon to a medium sized bowl and whisk together until combined. Next add in milk, eggs and vanilla extract and whisk all ingredients together until batter is a smooth consistency.
Heat oil in a pot to about 375 degrees. Add batter to a funnel, squeeze bottle or even a cake decorating piping bag with a round tip (which is what I used). Once oil is ready, swirl batter in a free formed spirally round shape and turn over once the down side is golden brown to fry the other side. Once both sides are golden brown, remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain. Immediately cover with confectioner's sugar and serve while hot. Makes 6-7 funnel cakes.
