Country Fair Funnel Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
oil, for deep-frying
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and brown sugar.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; beat into egg mixture until smooth.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees.
Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 cup batter into funnel.
Holding the funnel several inches above the skillet, release finger and move the funnel in a spiral motion until all of the batter is released (scraping funnel with a rubber spatula if needed).
Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve warm.
(Note that the batter can be poured from a liquid measuring cup instead of a funnel.).
