Funnel Cakes

One of our favorite summer things is the State Fair. Love all the stuff to do and eat. We go at least 3 times if not more every year. We walk around and do tons of things and more importantly we also eat our way through.

My kids have developed a love of funnel cakes from our fair going. So, when I found this recipe, I knew that I'd be getting big smiles if they turned out. Well...LOTS of smiles came when these hit the table.

If you don't want to use a pastry bag because it is a little messy, I have also used a small pitcher.

3 C Flour
2 C Milk
1/2 t Salt
3 Eggs
1/4 C Sugar
1 t Vanilla
1 T Baking Powder

Mix all the ingredients well. Heat Crisco (I use half butter flavor/half regular. I think oil makes them greasy). I put the batter in a pastry bag that I've pinched the end off of, release pinch and drizzle the batter into the hot oil. Cook until puffed up and golden, give a flip and cook until other side is golden. Remove to paper towels to remove excess oil, then to plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 8-10 funnel cakes.
Drizzle into the hot oil.

YUMMY!
