This is a Paula Deen recipe that my friend Adrienne sent me. She made them and said they taste just like funnel cakes from the fair! To quote Adrienne, "Long live Paula!"
2 cups milk
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) melted butter
Powdered sugar, for topping
Canola oil, for frying
In a deep skillet or stock pot, heat oil (This particular recipe didn't have the amount of oil listed, but I read one that said use 3 cups)
Combine milk, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl
In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients
Beat with a mixer until a smooth batter forms
Fold in melted butter
Pour batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle. Make sure to place your index finger over the hole, to prevent the batter from pouring out
Bring funnel or bottle over hot oil and release your finger to start a stream of batter. Move in a circular motion to create spiral shapes
Fry 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and slightly puffed
Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately
