A delightful treat that brings the joy of fairground desserts to your home.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and sugar until well combined.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth batter.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients slowly to avoid lumps in the batter.
Heat about an inch of oil in a frying pan to 375°F.
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
Using a funnel, pour about half a cup of batter into the hot oil in a circular motion to form a spiral shape.
Keep the funnel close to the oil to maintain control over the batter flow.
Fry the batter for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Flip the funnel cake gently to avoid splashing hot oil.
Remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Let the funnel cake rest for a minute to cool slightly before adding toppings.
Dust the funnel cake with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Use a fine sieve to evenly distribute the powdered sugar.
