It is Fair Time!

The Fair is here that means summer is almost done.  I was able to take my Little twice and my two oldest nephews. I love the fair but man does money fly when you are having fun. To save some money I made one of my favorite treats from fair. Here is the recipe:

Funnel Cakes
4 large eggs
2 2/3 cups milk
1/2 cup white sugar
5 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
*Powdered Sugar for top ( other yummy toppings; cherry pie filling, apple pie filling, blueberry pie filling)
Heat oil in an electric deep fryer or cast iron pan to 375°F. You will need at least 2" of oil in pan
Mix egg and milk together with a wire whisk until combined. Stir in other ingredients until batter is smooth no lumps.
Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip and squeeze batter in a random overlapping pattern. Once it's floating approx. 60 seconds, flip using tongs, allowing the other side to cook approx. another 60 seconds.
Continue cooking until desired color is achieved and remove from grease and set on a paper towel lined plate. Apply lots of yummy powdered sugar to the top, add pie filling toppings and enjoy!
Tip: A Zip top bag with one corner snipped off works great as a funnel.
Enjoy!
