Ingredients

Funnel Cake

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, milk, and egg. Add the flour, sugar, and baking powder and mix well. The mixture should resemble a thick pancake batter. To fry, add 2 inches of oil to a deep skillet. Preheat oil to 350° F to 375° F. When the oil is preheated, place a finger over the bottom of a funnel with a 1/2-inch opening. Scoop 1/2 cup of the batter into funnel. Carefully hold the funnel high above the oil and release your finger. Move the funnel in a circular motion to create the funnel cake. Cook until golden; flip and cook until golden on the second side, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter. Use a wire sieve to sprinkle powdered sugar over the funnel cakes—or add your favorite toppings. Enjoy while hot.
