4 eggs, beaten
4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 cups milk
1 tsp salt
2 cups canola oil
powdered sugar for dusting
In a mixing bowl combine the eggs and milk.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; add to the egg mixture and using a rotary mixer, beat until smooth. Pour the mixture into a pitcher and chill.
Heat the canola oil to 360 degrees in a deep fryer if you have one or a large skillet.
Remove batter from refrigerator and stir with a large spoon and test to see if it flows easily through a funnel. If too thick, add a small amount of milk. If too thin, add a little flour.
Cover the end of a funnel with your finger and pour 1/2 cup batter into funnel. Hold over the hot oil and release your finger and drop batter into the oil while moving funnel to form a snowflake shape. BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH HOT OIL! Oil will splatter when batter hits it! Cook snowflake approximately 3 minutes until a golden brown; turn and cook approximately 1 minute on other side.
Remove from the oil and drain on paper toweling. Transfer to a paper plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar 'snow'; sprinkle with sparkle or colored sugar, if desired.
