Funnel Cake Recipe, from Wendy Bradshaw (Snyder)

Funnel Cake

3 eggs

¼ cup sugar

2 cups milk

3-4 cups flour

½ tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

Beat the eggs.  Add sugar and milk.  Mix well.  Sift 2 cups of flour together with salt and baking powder.  Add to egg, milk and sugar mixture.  Slowly add more flour until batter is smooth and not too thick.  Fill funnel with batter.  Fry in hot oil, turning over once.  Add toppings and enjoy!
