Funnel Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 quart of vegetable oil for frying
• 1 1/2 cups of milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 3/4 cups of confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy skillet.
2. Beat the milk and eggs in a mixing bowl. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into egg mixture until smooth.
3. Use your finger to cover the funnel hole; pour in 1 cup of batter. Starting in the center of the skillet, remove your finger and move the funnel in a swirling motion to make a 6- or 7-inch round.
4. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
