- FUNNEL CAKES
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Cooking time: 3 to 4 minutes
- Yield: 8 to 10 six-inch cakes
-
- Funnel cakes are so named because the batter is dropped into the pan via a
- funnel.
-
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Confectioners' sugar
-
- 1. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Add eggs
- and milk; stir to make a smooth batter.
-
- 2. Heat several inches of oil in a heavy, deep saucepan to 375 degrees.
- Pour batter into a spouted measuring cup or a funnel. Working quickly, pour
- batter into fat, shaping a circular design, like lacework. Fry until golden
- on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
- 3. Transfer to paper towels; sprinkle with a thick layer of confectioners'
- sugar and serve at once. Make additional funnel cakes the same way.
