FUNNEL CAKES

Have you ever had a Pennsylvania Dutch funnel cake? Boy, howdee! Well, if you don't live in Pennsylvania where you can buy them at any farmers' market or fair, try these.

INGREDIENTS

1 egg, room temperature

2/3 cup milk, room temperature

1-1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Confectioner's sugar, sifted

Vegetable oil for frying

Beat egg with milk. Blend dry ingredients except confectioner's sugar and gradually add egg mixture, beating until smooth. Heat at least 1-inch of oil in skillet or deep fryer to 375°. Place thumb over bottom opening of funnel. Pour batter in. Remove thumb and drop into hot oil using a circular motion to form spirals about 4-inches in diameter for each cake. Remove when golden brown. While cake is still warm, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Best served warm.
