Today was the last day of winter vacation for the kids, so we headed out for a day at the zoo. It was a lot of fun - but you know how it is places like this - the yummy food smells are really tempting.
My son started begging me for a funnel cake - so I did what any good mama would do."Are you kidding me!?" I exclaimed, " Those are like $4!"
I swore to make him some when we got home.
We found a good-rated recipe from food.com and went to work.
Momma's Fair Funnel Cake

| The lovely daughter frying the cakes |
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk
3 2/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
vegetable oil , for frying
Directions:
- Beat eggs and sugar together and then add the milk slowly--beat. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Pour batter into a funnel and at the same time, use your finger to plug the hole. In a large cast iron pot, add 2 inches of oil to the bottom. **We didn't have a funnel so we used a large plastic bag, and cut a small corner off.
- When the oil becomes hot, move your hand over the pot and slowly release your finger so the batter can start cooking.
- Move the funnel around to make designs.
- Brown on both sides--then immediately remove and drain extremely well.
- Top with brown sugar, or honey, or cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar as a topping.
- BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GET BURNED!
The kids approved this recipe!!! PLUS it cost a lot less than the cakes at the zoo.
