Add 4 to 6 cups of oil to a medium to a large size saucepot over medium-low heat until it reaches and holds at 375° Fahrenheit.

Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk until completely combined. Set aside.

In a separate medium-size bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

In batches of 3, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredient bowl and vigorously whisk until it is smooth before adding in the next batch.

Transfer to a large squeeze bottle with a large open top or a water pitcher and pour the batter through a funnel directly into the hot oil.

Add about ¾ cup of the batter in zig-zag circular motions overlapping the batter to form a large circle.

Cook for 90 seconds or until lightly browned and then flip over and cook for a further 30 seconds.

Remove the funnel cake and quickly drain it on a paper towel. Garnish with powdered sugar and serve.
