Sift together the first five ingredients.
Mix egg and milk; add to flour mixture. Stir until batter is smooth. Pour oil
into deep skillet to depth of 1-inch (fill pan no more than 1/3
full). Heat over medium heat to 375-degrees. Holding forefinger over
end of funnel, pour 1/4 cup batter into funnel. Place funnel over hot
oil, then remove finger to let batter flow. As batter flows, move
funnel in circles to form a spiral cake. Fry, turning once, 2 minutes
or until golden brown. Drain and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Repeat.
Makes enough for 6 funnel cakes.
