Funnel Cakes

I made these for the Grandkids If you close your eyes you'd think you were at the fair !! .......YUMMY!!!!!!!! We will definitely make these again!!!


5-1/3 cups oil for frying
2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
powdered sugar for sprinkling


In a heavy frying pan, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour mixture, stirring until well blended. In a separate bowl, sift together the confectioner's sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Blocking the spout with your finger, fill a ziploc bag and over the hot oil scribble and criss-cross the batter into the oil, then fry until golden on both sides. Using a slotted spatula, lift the funnel cake out of the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat this procedure with the remaining batter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm.
