Say hello to the ultimate fairground classic—crispy, golden funnel cake! This nostalgic delight is soft and fluffy on the inside, with a satisfying crunch on the edges, all generously dusted with powdered sugar magic.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. In a big bowl, start by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until it's all well mixed.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and a splash of vanilla extract.
3. Next, combine the wet and dry ingredients until you have a nice, smooth batter.
4. Heat up some oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to about 375°F (190°C).
5. Pour the batter into a funnel or a squeeze bottle (a wider opening works best!).
6. Now, drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a circular, spiraling motion to create that classic funnel cake shape.
7. Fry them up until they're golden brown—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
8. Once they're done, use a slotted spoon to take them out and let them drain on some paper towels.
9. Finally, dust them generously with powdered sugar and enjoy them right away!
