Hey, what a great idea! We use to make these all the time. I might just make some for the family on Sunday. Thanks!

FUNNEL CAKE
3-4 cups all purpose flour
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
powdered sugar (for topping)
vegetable oil (for deep frying - heat to 375 degrees)
Beat the eggs, then add the sugar and milk. Sift 2 cups of flour, the salt, and the baking powder and add to the milk, sugar, and egg mixture.
Mix while adding more flour until the batter is smooth and not too thick. The funnel should have an opening of at least 1/2 inch and be able to hold around a cup of batter. Put your finger over the bottom and add about a cup of batter. Remove your finger and allow the batter to pour into the center of the oil. Be careful, the oil may splash!
Gradually swirl the batter outward in a circular motion, or criss-cross back and forth to make a cake about 7 or 8 inches round.
We used to draw our initials to personalize our cakes! Check it with a pair of tongs and turn it when the bottom becomes golden brown.
When both sides are done, remove with tongs and let it drip on a paper towel.
Funnel cake is often served with powdered sugar on top. You could also use molasses, maple syrup, or fruit preserves.
Enjoy!

Funnel cakes are awesome to make at home with your kids or just for yourself. I've made them a few times, and it doesn't really matter if you screw them up as long as you follow the recipe, they always taste great and you can always put whatever you want in them.

No, I can't afford to buy that many funnels. But I've seen the delicacy at the fair.

Yes, they're a PA Dutch favorite. Use pancake batter with sugar added. Powder sugar after allowing to cool on paper towls.

Yes! Much better than the ones at the fair. You can get as messy as you want and not feel self-conscious. :)

Do you mean funny cakes? Yes, I have, lots of times.
I have always enjoyed it, and it has enriched my life considerably.
Why do you ask?
