Bring the fair to your kitchen with these homemade funnel cakes, featuring a light and crispy texture dusted with powdered sugar.

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vegetable oil (for frying)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Create a well in the center, add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan to 375°F (190°C).
Using a funnel or piping bag, pipe the batter into the hot oil in a circular shape.
Fry for 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip carefully with tongs and fry the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while warm.

For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour or substitute sugar with honey.
