Bolos de funil

Ingredientes

• 2 pounds strawberries (quartered)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• Vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Confectioners' (powdered sugar)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   --- For the Strawberries: ---

2. 2

   Place washed and cut berries in a bowl, sprinkle with the sugar, toss, and place in fridge.

3. 3

   --- For the Funnel Cakes: ---

4. 4

   Fill 4 quart pot (8-inches in diameter) with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 360 degrees over medium heat.

5. 5

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and sugar together. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until smooth. Mixture should be thin enough to easily go through a small kitchen funnel. Test it over the mixing bowl and if it's too thick, mix in more milk; if too thin, mix in a little more flour.

6. 6

   Place your finger over the bottom of the funnel and fill it with 1/2 cup of batter. Hold the funnel over the pot of hot oil and remove your finger to release the batter into the oil while moving the funnel in a circular motion and then every which way so it's all connected. Fry until golden brown (1-2 minutes), carefully flip with tongs, and fry the second side until golden (about 1 minute). Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with lots of powdered sugar, top with strawberries and enjoy warm.
