In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and water.
Whisk in sugar, salt and baking powder
Mix in flour until batter forms
Once oil comes to temperature, pour batter into a gallon size zip lock bag and cut a small corner off. A piping bag can be used.

Remove and place on paper towel to cool and dry.
Christina's Notes
Double This Recipe: Increase the ingredients proportionately and split into two batches for cooking.
Bottle: For best control use a squeeze bottle to easily make your pattern.
Cooling Tip: Use a wire rack or baking sheet to help them cool faster. Do not apply powdered sugar until the cake has cooled or it will melt.
Dairy Free: Feel free to add your favorite milk alternative, such as a nut based milk or rice milk.
Food Coloring: Brighten you cakes up with a little food coloring for fun.
Favorite Toppings: Funnel cakes are best enjoyed with ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, fruit, powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
