3 eggs
2 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
3 to 4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
Vegetable oil

Beat eggs and add sugar and milk. Sift half the flour, salt and baking powder together. Add to milk and egg mixture. Beat batter until smooth, adding only as much flour as needed. Batter should be thin enough to run through a funnel.

Heat vegetable oil to about 375 degrees in an 8- or 9-inch iron skillet, about 3/4 inches deep.

Pour about 1/4 cup batter into a funnel, keeping finger over the bottom of the funnel until ready to drizzle batter in hot oil in lace-like pattern. The frying can become an art since all sorts of shapes can be made with twists and turns of the funnel.
