Cardamom Funnel Cakes

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

Preheat oil in Presto® electric deep fryer. If using an adjustable thermostat deep fryer, set at 375°.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt in 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 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 funnel cake at a time. Continue until all batter is used. Serve warm with powdered sugar or syrup. Makes about 6.

Note: Batter may also be poured slowly in a circular pattern into hot oil from a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
