Then make funnel cake for breakfast!
A couple weeks ago Steve and I hosted three of my middle-school aged cousins for a sleepover. Highlights of the sleepover included:
1. playing basketball in the next-door school's gym before dinner.
2. eating brownies, Doritos, Mountain Dews and pizza for dinner.
3. settling full stomachs with another Mountain Dew before playing some more basketball.
4. watching 5 movies while drinking more Mountain Dew and eating popcorn.
5. eating homemade funnel cake for breakfast!
I'll admit that my funnel cake experiment went very well. They're so super-easy to make and so delicious and nostalgic that I thought I'd share the recipe and the beautiful results.
Recipe
3 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs
2 cups milk
oil heated to 350 degrees
Mix dry ingredients then whisk in the eggs and milk. Pour 1/2 cup batter through a funnel (while making circular, swilrling motions) into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Drain on a paper towel, coat with powdered sugar, and enjoy!
