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 2 cups of the flour, salt and baking powder together Add to milk and egg mixture. Beat batter until smooth, adding only as much of the other flour as needed. Batter should be thin enough to go through a funnel, but not too runny.

Heat vegetable oil to about 375 degrees in an 8 or 9-inch skillet, about 3/4 inch deep. It is important to have and keep the oil hot. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into funnel, keeping finger over bottom of funnel until ready to drizzle batter in hot oil. Then swirl and criss-cross batter in oil in a lace-like pattern.

Let cake brown on one side, turn and brown on the other side; it takes 1 minute or less to bake. Lift from oil, place on plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yield: 6 to 8 funnel cakes.
