Funnel Cakes! YUM! Recipe

Funnel Cake 

Total Time: 20 min
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 10 min
Yield:
6 to 8 servings, depending upon size of cakes 

Ingredients
2 cups milk
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) melted butter
Powdered sugar, for topping

Directions

Combine milk, egg, vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar and gradually add to wet ingredients. Beat with a mixer until a smooth batter forms. Fold in melted butter. Pour batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle while using your index finger to stop the flow of the batter. Bring the funnel over the hot oil and release your finger to start a stream of batter while moving the funnel in a circular motion to create spiral-like shapes. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. (can also add chocolate syrup, whip cream, or ice cream)
             My experience: The first time  I ever had funnel cake was when I made them at home. I would always see people eating funnel cakes and carnivals or festivals but I never really wanted to try any. Well until I was bored and wanted something to cook. So i looked up how to make funnel cake and headed straight to the kitchen. To be honest they were great! the kitchen got a little messy but at least I had my funnel cake.
