Philly Dutch-style Funnel Cakes
Recipe courtesy Dave Lieberman

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups milk
1 egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter, melted
4 cups vegetable oil
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large
mixing bowl and whisk together. Gradually whisk in the milk, then the egg and
vanilla, and finally the sugar and melted butter.

Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over high heat to 350 degrees F. Pour as much
batter as fits into a funnel, holding your finger at the base of the funnel to dam
it. Bring the funnel over the top of the hot oil, release your finger to begin the
stream of batter, and move the funnel in a circular motion to create a spiral
shape. Use about 1/2 cup batter per funnel cake, or more or less to your liking.
Fry 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed, turning over when 1
side is golden.

Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with 2 layers of paper towels.

Immediately top with a good scattering of powdered sugar. Repeat until no batter
remains.
