🎠 County Fair Funnel Cakes (Just Like the Fair!)


Instructions:

  1. Make the batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, and vanilla.
    • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until smooth and pourable (similar to pancake batter).
  2. Heat the oil:
    • Pour oil into a deep skillet or saucepan — about 1 to 1½ inches deep.
    • Heat to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Create your funnel cakes:
    • Use a funnel, squeeze bottle, or piping bag to drizzle the batter in circular, crisscross patterns into the hot oil.
    • Fry for about 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
    • Use tongs to flip carefully.
  4. Drain & Dust:
    • Place cooked funnel cakes on paper towels to drain.
    • While still warm, generously sprinkle with powdered sugar or your favorite toppings.
  5. Serve immediately!
    • Best enjoyed hot and fresh — preferably barefoot in the backyard or under twinkly lights. 😉
