Mix 2 cups plain flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 eggs and 1 1/2 cups milk.
Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or skillet until very hot. Put batter into a funnel (be sure to cover the spout with one finger), then, holding the funnel over the hot oil (use extreme caution when cooking with hot oil), release some of the batter in a circular motion, then criss-crossing motion to form one funnel cake. The funnel cake will rise quickly and expand, so be careful about how much batter you use for the first one until you get the 'feel' for cooking it.
Cook to a light golden brown on both sides, then remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve while still warm.
