Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Heat the Oil:
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare for Frying:
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle with a wide opening or a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Fry the Funnel Cake Sticks:
Carefully squeeze the batter into the hot oil in long, thin strips, cooking a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each strip for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Dust:
Remove the funnel cake sticks with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain.
Dust the hot sticks generously with powdered sugar before serving.
