County Fair Funnel Cakes

Crispy County Fair Funnel Cakes with Powdered Sugar

Ingredients:

2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Fresh berries or fruit toppings (optional)
Chocolate syrup or caramel sauce (optional)
Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the milk, water, and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a funnel with a narrow tip. Carefully squeeze or pour the batter in a circular motion into the hot oil, forming a spiral shape. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Use tongs to carefully flip the funnel cake and cook the other side until golden brown and crisp. Remove the funnel cake from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Dust the warm funnel cakes generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with optional toppings like fresh berries, chocolate syrup, or caramel sauce.
