In a deep medium skillet, heat the oil to 350-375 degrees. (I use an electric skillet).
In a large bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
Make a well in the center and add the milk and eggs and whisk until smooth.
Pour batter into a funnel cake funnel.
Pour about 1 cup of batter into oil in a circle form.
Cook until golden brown on the bottom. This takes about a minute or so.
Using tongs, turn the cake over and cook the other side until golden brown.
Transfer the funnel cake to paper towels and drain briefly.
Dust the funnel cakes with confectioners sugar and serve hot.
