Funnel Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 beaten eggs
1 1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. cooking oil
powdered sugar or Caramel Sauce (optional)

Preparation

For batter, in a large bowl, stir eggs, milk and brown sugar. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture.
Beat with a rotary beater until smooth. In an 8-inch skillet, heat cooking oil to 360\u00b0.
Hold a funnel with 1/2-inch spout covering the bottom with your finger.
Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the funnel.
Remove your finger and carefully release the batter into the hot oil, starting at the center of the skillet and moving the funnel in a circular motion to form a spiral.
Cook batter about 2 1/2 minutes or until golden brown.
Using 2 wide metal spatulas, carefully turn the funnel cake.
Cook about 1 minute more or until golden.
Remove the cake from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
If desired, sprinkle funnel cakes with powdered sugar or drizzle with Caramel Sauce.
