Funnel Cakes

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup white sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and half of the flour. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream eggs, milk and sugar. Add flour mixture and beat until smooth. Continue to add remaining flour, but use only enough to achieve desired consistency. Batter will be thin enough to run through a funnel.

In an eight inch skillet, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Put your finger over the bottom opening of the funnel, and fill the funnel with a generous 1/2 cup of the batter. Hold the funnel close to the surface of the oil, and release the batter into the oil while making a circular motion. Fry until golden brown. Use tongs and wide spatula to turn the cake over carefully. Fry the second side one minute. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with sifted confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar.
