Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

1. Heat Oil: In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Create Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
5. Funnel the Batter: Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a large measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring. Alternatively, you can use a funnel, holding your finger over the hole to control the flow.
6. Fry Funnel Cakes: Carefully drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a circular, swirling motion to create the classic funnel cake shape. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, using tongs or a slotted spoon to flip the cake halfway through.
7. Drain: Remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Dust with Sugar: While still warm, generously dust the funnel cake with powdered sugar.
9. Serve: Serve the funnel cakes warm, topped with additional powdered sugar or your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.
10. Enjoy: Indulge in the crispy, sweet goodness of these homemade funnel cakes, and enjoy a taste of the fair right at home!
