Cardamon Funnel Cakes

You really don't need a funnel to make these look just like the ones you remember. Just pour the batter slowly into the hot oil from a two-cup glass measure.

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 to 1 1/4 cups milk

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamon, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Combine beaten eggs and 1 cup milk; pour into flour mixture and stir until smooth. If batter is too heavy, add additional milk. Batter should pour in a heavy stream.

Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into funnel. (Hold finger over end as funnel is filled.)

Hold funnel over preheated oil in Presto® electric deep fryer; release finger and let batter pour into fryer in a circular pattern.

Fry 1 1/2 minutes; turn and fry another 1 1/2 minutes. Fry one cake at a time. Continue until all batter is used.

Serve warm with powdered sugar or syrup.
