Steps:
- In a heavy cast iron pan or in a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F.
- In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, potato flakes (if using) and vanilla, whisking until foamy.
- In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder, mace and salt. Sifting helps improve the texture and lightness of funnel cakes and is a step that shouldn't be skipped!
- Stir brown sugar into the sifted flour mixture until no streaks remain.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, then beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. (Lumps may clog up the funnel).
- Adjust the consistency of the batter - if it pours too easily and is too thin, add a tablespoon more of flour (at a time) until the batter thickens; if the batter is too thick and doesn't pour easily, thin it with a tablespoon or so of milk until it pours easily. Batter should have the consistency of heavy pancake batter.
- You'll need a large funnel with an opening about the size of your index finger. Silicone funnels are convenient to use because you can pinch them shut, or use a funnel cake funnel made specifically for the purpose, or any funnel will do, if you are able to hold your finger over the bottom to keep the batter from flowing.
- When the oil is at the right temperature, fill the funnel with batter (use a small amount at first until you get the hang of it), then remove your finger and drop batter into the hot oil, forming swirls and squiggles in a criss-cross fashion, moving constantly (from the outside in works well).
- Fry funnel cakes for about 3 minutes, then turn over with a slotted spoon and fry until the both sides are golden.
- Remove using a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Combine confectioners' sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the still warm funnel cakes using a shaker or put the cinnamon sugar into a clean brown paper bag and toss the funnel cakes in the bag to coat.
- Serve warm. Makes eight 8-in. cakes.

Steps:
- Add milk and sugar to the beaten eggs. In separate bowl sift dry ingredients together. Add to egg mixture, beating until smooth. Heat oil to 375°F and pour batter into hot fat through a regular household funnel. Control the flow of batter by holding your finger over the bottom of the funnel. Make patterns, designs, swirls or whatever with the stream of batter as it flows into the hot fat. When "cakes" are golden brown, drain, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
AMISH FUNNEL CAKE
I found this recipe a few years ago, having a craving for a funnel cake I found about 10 that sounded good, and simple, but this one was the best tasting one that I found...and yes, of course it would be the last one that I tried out of the 10 or so that I found. Splenda works well in place of sugar also.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs, then add the milk and sugar.
- sift 2 cups of flour to baking powder and salt.
- add to the milk, sugar, and egg mixture.
- mix well, adding more flour to mixture until it becomes a smooth batter and not too thick.
- The funnel should have an opening of at least 1/2 inch and be able to hold around a cup of batter.
- put your finger over the bottom and add the cup of batter. remove your finger and allow the batter to pour into the center of the oil. Be careful, the oil may splash a little.
- gradually 'swirl' the batter outward in a circular motion or criss cross back and forth to make a cake about 7 to 8 inches around.
- Check it with a pair of tongs and turn it when the bottom becomes golden brown.
- it's usually pretty fragile and will probably try to break on you when flipping. when both sides are done -- remove and place and paper towel to drain oil.
- you can top with powdered sugar, syrup,etc --
- enjoy. It will make about 6 cakes.
- If you don't have a funnel, you can twist a paper plate into a 'funnel', it will probably be a little messy unless you can tape it up or something.
