Funnel Cakes

3 eggs

Beat eggs, milk and sugar. Stir together flour, salt and baking powder. Add cornmeal and mix well. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, beating batter until smooth.It should be thin enough to run through a funnel(add milk if necessary). Fill funnel, let batter run through into hot oil (I use canola). I use an electric frypan set at 375 degrees. Hold finger over bottom of funnel to control amount of batter released; pour into desired shapes. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with 10X sugar. Eat warm. Makes about 30.
