Funnel Cake


Ingredients:

1 egg
2/3 cup milk
2 tbsp. sugar
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder

Directions:

1. In a deep skillet, heat about two cups of oil over medium-high heat until hot. Test the temperature by dropping a pinch of flour into the hot oil. If it sizzles right away without smoking, it's perfect.

2. Beat egg and milk. Mix all other ingredients in a separate bowl and slowly add to the egg mixture, beating until smooth.

3. Using a funnel, drop into hot oil working from center outwards in a web pattern. (You can use a gallon sized freezer bag instead of a funnel by pouring the batter into the bag, snipping off a small corner of it, and squeezing the batter into the oil.)

4. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, remove from the oil when golden brown and crispy.

5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Mommy2Isabella replied: THANKS TARA!! As soon as DH gets home I will have to have him make me one! , I don't trust myself with oil and such!

CantWait replied: YUM!!!! I hate deep frying so I'll have to pass, but that does sound good.

PrairieMom replied: how much you suppose this makes? I'm totally making it tonight, we are going to watch the speech on DVR and eat it. all my funnel cake talk got to me.

luvmykids replied: OMG Tara, I totally did NOT need to have funnel cake available to me at any time

cameragirl21 replied: I LOVE funnel cakes! But there is no way I'm trying that. If I learn to make those I will have them ALL THE TIME as opposed to the once or so yearly trip to the fair and those would just destroy my diet.
Sounds a heck of a lot better than that skunk crap that you posted earlier.

PrairieMom replied:
I KNOW! I have all the ingredients!
I'm gonna totally make one tonight, and have DH take a picture of me eating it just for all you.

PrairieMom replied:
no doubt!

CantWait replied:
I want to see what they look like.

HuskerMom replied:
Mine too, but I may have to give in for a funnel cake! That sounds so good!

PrairieMom replied: I have a craving... Had to dig this bad boy up. good thing the search function worked, I was to busy shoving funnel cake into my face last time to bother to write down the recipe.
I have it now tho.

mom21kid2dogs replied: Only a mean spirited sister would dig this post up again!

PrairieMom replied:
