Recipe Introduction

While working at Opryland, I got this recipe from the chef that made them in the themepark. Very popular! Yummy!

List of Ingredients

3 to 4 cups of flour
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
powdered sugar for topping
vegetable oil for deep frying - heat to 375 degrees f.


Recipe

Beat the eggs, then add the sugar and milk. Sift 2 cups of flour, the salt, and the baking powder and add to the milk, sugar, and egg mixture. Mix while adding more flour until the batter is smooth and not too thick. The funnel should have an opening of at least 1/2 inch and be able to hold around a cup of batter. Put your finger over the bottom and add about a cup of batter. Remove your finger and allow the batter to pour into the center of the oil. Be careful, the oil may splash! Gradually swirl the batter outward in a circular motion, or criss-cross back and forth to make a cake about 7 or 8 inches round. Check it with a pair of tongs and turn it when the bottom becomes golden brown. When both sides are done, remove with tongs and let it drip on a paper towel. We serve Funnel cake with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar on top. You could also use maple syrup, or fruit preserves.
