2 1/2 c. self-rising flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 1/3 c. milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
Oil
Sifted powdered sugar

Combine flour, sugar, milk and eggs in a bowl, beating until smooth. Heat 1/4 inch oil to 375 degrees in a skillet. Cover bottom opening of a funnel with finger. (Funnel with a 3/8 inch opening works best.)

Pour 1/4 cup batter into funnel. Hold funnel over skillet. Remove finger from funnel end to release batter into hot oil; move funnel in a slow, circular motion to form a spiral. Fry each funnel cake 1 minute or until edges are golden brown. Turn and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels.
