County Fair Funnel Cakes

Pour about 1 to 1½ inches oil into an electric skillet and heat to 375?. Meanwhile, beat eggs, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl until smooth. (A whisk works well). When oil is hot, fill a large funnel, holding forefinger over open end, with batter. Remove finger and let batter fall into the center of the skillet, moving funnel in a spiral to make an 8 or 9 inch round. Cook until golden. Remove cake with slotted spatula and place on paper toweling. Sprinkle immediately with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
