Funnel Cake

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, Dr. Oetker Baking Powder, Dr. Oetker Vanilla Sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps for an even texture.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C. For testing, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the top immediately. Fill a funnel with batter, holding the funnel closed with your finger.

Carefully release the batter into the hot oil in a circular motion, creating a lace-like pattern. Fry the funnel cake for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use tongs to remove the funnel cake and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Allow the funnel cakes to cool slightly before dusting them generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best taste experience. Enjoy your homemade Canadian Funnel Cake!
