Fair-style Funnel Cakes Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 large egg
06 - 1 cup whole milk
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 5 cups vegetable oil for frying
09 - Powdered sugar for dusting

# Instructions:

01 - Heat vegetable oil in a large round frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
05 - Transfer the batter to a large resealable plastic bag and snip off a small corner, or use a funnel cake dispenser.
06 - Carefully drizzle the batter into the hot oil in a circular, overlapping pattern to help the funnel cake hold together. Fry each funnel cake for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
07 - Remove cooked funnel cakes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.
08 - Dust each funnel cake generously with powdered sugar before serving.
