1 1/2 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Baking soda
2 tb Sugar
2 ts Baking powder
1 ea Egg, beaten
2/3 c Milk
Sift all dry ingredients together. Mix egg and milk
together; add to dry ingredients. Beat until smooth.
(More milk will be needed, but add it gradually until
the consistency of pancake batter.) Fill pan with 1
inch of cooking oil and heat as for cooking doughnuts.
Hold finger over bottom of funnel. Pour in about 1/4
cup batter. Remove finger and let batter drop in
spiral motion into pan of hot oil. Fry until golden
brown, turning once with tongs. Remove from pan and
drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
and serve hot. Makes 6 funnel cakes.
(At the fair, these are also served with a
cinnamon/sugar mix sprinkled on them. I'm still
trying to decide which is better. I think I need to
try both of them again <g>.)
