1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar

Directions
Funnel Cakes
In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and food colouring until incorporated and set aside.
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together, add to the egg mixture, and beat until smooth.
Transfer some batter into a large squeeze bottle and heat oil to 375 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Once oil reaches temperature, squeeze batter into hot oil in circular motions. Fry for about one to two minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel while you make the glaze.
Glaze and Serve
In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over or dip your funnel cakes in and serve. Enjoy!
