Funnel Cakes

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose baking mix
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup liquid vanilla coffee creamer, or other flavor of your choice
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix, eggs, milk and coffee creamer. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.

In a deep-fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees F.

Cover the bottom of a funnel with your finger. Ladle 1/2 cup of batter into funnel. Holding funnel over oil, slowly release finger and move in a spiral motion, then cross over to create criss-cross pattern. Fry golden on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Alternate method: Instead of using a funnel, try squeezing batter out of a plastic ketchup bottle. This can help you make the design more accurate and is also less messy.
