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; add sugar and milk. Sift 2 cups flour, salt, and baking powder together. Add to milk and egg mixture. Beat batter until smooth, adding only as much of the other 1 to 2 cups 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. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into funnel, keeping finger over bottom of funnel until ready to drizzle batter in hot oil. 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 (or syrup, molasses, jelly, or jam).
