      Title: Funnel Cake
 Categories: Breads, Snacks, Desserts
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
  1 1/3 c  Flour
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Soda
      2 tb Sugar
    3/4 ts Baking powder
      1 lg Egg; beaten
    2/3 c  Milk; more as needed
           Oil for frying
           Confectioner's sugar
 
  Into a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. In
  another bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Add to the
  dry ingredients, and beat until smooth.
  
  Fill a skillet or pan with 1" of cooking oil and heat to
  a temperature of 375ºF/190ºC.
  
  Now cover the small hole of a clean funnel with a finger.
  Then fill the funnel with the batter. Carefully move your
  finger away from the hole in the funnel, allowing the
  batter to flow into the skillet. Move the funnel to form
  patterns with the batter.
  
  Fry until golden brown, about 1 or 2 minutes, turning
  once with two spatulas. Remove to paper toweling to
  drain. Place on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  Serve hot. Repeat the process until all of the batter is
  used up.
  
  It is hard to know if this should really be called a
  cake, but it has historically been called a cake, so it
  is a cake, even if it is fried. This desert appeals to
  children of all ages, it is a homey, and homely, classic
  ~ attractive in its own strange way, and very tasty.
  
  I have seen it served with whipped cream and fruit
  toppings, so let your imagination run wild with the
  toppings.
  
  This is a Pennsylvania-Dutch recipe, and was printed in
  the food section of the September 25, 1986 Austin
  American-Statesman.
