FUNnel Cake Date

Best. date. night. ever.

Something not many people know about me is that my favorite food ever is funnel cake. I like everything about it. I like the shapes. I like how each funnel cake is different. I LOOVEEE the smell. I also love how you can put ANYTHING on it and it will taste sooo good. I talk about funnel cake all the time to Hunter, but I rarely find a place that sells it. Soooo...
We decided to make our own.
It's so simple and so cheap and such a fun date! Funnel cake and a Redbox-I can't think of anything right now better than that combination. The recipe calls for a funnel (duh), but we improvised (like us poor people usually do). We put the batter in a water bottle! Genius.

Funnel Cake (this is where we got the recipe)
• 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:

1. Beat eggs and sugar together and then add the milk slowly--beat. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy.
2. Pour batter into a funnel and at the same time, use your finger to plug the hole. (or put it in water bottle like we did) In a large cast iron pot, add 2 inches of oil to the bottom.
3. When the oil becomes hot, move your hand over the pot and slowly release your finger so the batter can start cooking.
4. Move the funnel around to make designs.
5. Brown on both sides--then immediately remove and drain extremely well.
6. Top with brown sugar, or honey, or cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar as a topping.
7. BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GET BURNED

Our house still smells like a carnival:)

Don't mind me looking like a freak in this picture...I was just THAT happy! Happy Weekend!

love, lacy
