Ingredients & Tools

INGREDIENTS

2 C Flour
1 t Baking Powder
½ t salt
1 T Sugar
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 ½ C Milk
1 T Vanilla Extract Flavorless oil Powdered sugar (to dust the tops with)
Vegetable oil or any frying oil.

TOOLS

Collapsable Funnel
Cuisinart Cast Iorn Dutch Oven or any heavy bottom pot
Spiral Whisk or standard whisk
Pyrex bowl
misc. kitchen utensils

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl add in your flour, baking powder and salt and mix until everything is combined.

Add Wet Ingredients to Dry

Next add in your eggs (whisk lightly), milk, and vanilla to the dry ingredients.

Combine and Cool

After adding the wet ingredients, beat until the batter is smooth and everything is combined. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate your batter for 30 minutes.

Heat Oil and Place Batter in Funnel

While you are waiting for your batter to rest and cool, line the bottom of a cooling rack with paper towels. Add oil to a heavy bottom pan about ¼ of the ways up and heat to 375 degrees F. Once your batter has rested, pour it into a measuring cup and pour about ½ cup of your batter into a funnel and hold the bottom with your finger (because you don't want it to funnel out unless its on top of the oil).

Have Fun Funneling!

Once you are on top of the oil pan, release your figure carefully and stream the batter in the hot oil using a spiral motion to form the classic funnel cake look.
