Ingredients:

Preparation:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
-
Frying:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a funnel, slowly pour the batter into the hot oil, moving the funnel in a crisscross pattern to create the classic funnel cake shape. You can use your finger as a stopper to control the flow of batter.

Cooking:
- Fry the funnel cakes until they turn golden brown, typically about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to carefully flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
-
Serving:
- Once golden and crispy, remove the funnel cakes from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust the funnel cakes generously with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade funnel cakes plain or with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh fruit.
