2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
oil for deep-frying
confectioner’s sugar - for dusting
In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and brown sugar. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; beat into egg mixture until smooth. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees. Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 cup batter into funnel. Holding the funnel several inches above the skillet, release finger and move the funnel in a spiral motion until all of the batter is released (scraping funnel with a rubber spatula if needed). Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Dust with confectioners’ sugar; serve warm. (Note that the batter can be poured from a liquid measuring cup instead of a funnel.)
