Fried Dough

8 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 pint milk, warm
1 stick butter soft
4 cups flour
2 pkg. yeast
Pour yeast in 1 cup warm milk and 1 Tablespoon of sugar, stir.
Sift together flour, salt, and sugar and make a well in mixture.
Add eggs and milk a little at a time. Add butter. Stir well.
When thoroughly mixed, grease a large bowl and place dough in bowl. Cover and let rise for about 11/2 to 2 hours.
When dough rises and appears light in texture, cut off some of the dough and stretch it with your hands.
Drop into hot fat and fry until golden brown.
Tip: Add anything you would like to the fried dough, such as powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar.

Now remove your finger from the small end while holding the funnel 2 inches above the hot oil. Let batter drop in a swirling motion.

Beat eggs. Add milk and vanilla. Blend in rest of ingredients.
Fry in ½ inch of oil in large metal pan.
To drizzle, take a funnel full of dough, and pour in dough in zigzag motions.
I recommend one or fewer funnels full, but do what looks right.
Flip when a crispy brown on bottom side. Take out with tongs when other side is done.
Put on plate with paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Eat and enjoy! Makes about 5 funnel cakes or more. 
Tip
: only put in enough batter to just cover up grease or less.
