Funnel Cake

I like to call this the "American Galebi". Reminiscent of the carefree, worry-free, stress-free days spent at Disney, I make this whenever the Orlando travel bug bites but I can't hop on a flight. PS: They take JUST like waffles- only fried! *insert heart face emoji*


Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups milk
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Vegetable/canola oil for frying

Method:
1. Mix all dry ingredients.
2. Mix all wet ingredients.
3. Add wet to dry & mix until well-combined until there are no lumps.
4. Pour into ketchup bottle or any bottle with a thin tip (but big enough so batter can easily come out- I cut a little more off of the tip of the ketchup bottle)
5. Pour into oil in circles, starting small & gradually creating bigger loops.
6. Fry until golden-brown (about 2 minutes) & flip. Fry for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
7. Drain on paper towel.
8. Dress as desired! I love a generous dusting of powdered sugar but you can do anything from caramel to chocolate sauce to Nutella to jelly!


Tips:
1. Minis make lovely treats for a tea party or for gifts.
2. The first one (similarly with pancakes & waffles) is usually the worst- feel free to discard!
3. You can freeze the uneaten funnel cakes & toast just like you would prepare frozen waffles.
