May Day! In Finland it is called Vappu, which is a day that is celebrated by going out and having a picnic. Though the weather in Finland seems to be cold, rainy or even snowy during this time... or lucky with some sun . Non the less, we still go out and have a nice time.

Anyway I wanted to share my Tippaleipä or Funnel Cake recipe that my friends LOVE, and I've made them every year and they go fast.
I can't remember where I found this recipe, but here we go.
Ingredients:
3-4 cups flour
3 eggs
2 cups milk ( I drink almond milk, which works too.)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional
1-3 teaspoons of vanilla sugar and cinnamon
( I added these to the recipe because I wanted some tasty flavor and the hint of vanilla and cinnamon is addicting )
powder sugar for dusting
vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
In large bowl, beat eggs, add sugar and milk. Stir.
In a medium bowl sift together flour, salt, baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until batter is smooth- should not be too thick.
The funnel should have an opening at least 1/2 inch and be able to hold a cup of batter. Put your finger over the bottom and add about a cup of batter. Remove your finger and allow the batter to pour into the center of the oil.
Be careful! the oil may slash!
Gradually swirl the batter outward in a circular motion or criss-cross back and forth to make a cake about 7-8 inch round.
I made mini ones, but you can eyeball how big you want them to be. Have fun with it!
Turn it over when the bottom becomes golden brown.
*** A piping bag will work to, I use a ziploc and pipe the batter in until the cake is the size I want.
Enjoy!
