8 cups Vegetable Oil
1-1/2 cup Milk
2 Large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Or Extract
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 Medium-sized Orange, Washed Then Zested
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons Salt

1
In a deep-fryer, or heavy skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 375 F.
2
In a large bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and vanilla paste or extract. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, orange zest, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the flour mixture into the milk/egg mixture and stir until well incorporated and smooth.
3
Pour one cup of batter into a funnel, covering the funnel hole with one finger as you fill it. Starting from the center, swirl the batter into the hot oil, making a circle around 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Fry on both sides until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
4
Remove the funnel cake from the oil using a slotted spoon or kitchen spider and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter. Immediately serve them topped with strawberries and whipped cream.
