For the kids

Pennsylvania Dutch Funnel Cake

Oil - (for deep frying) <I use Canola>
1 1/3 c sifted flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
2/3 c milk
1 egg
confectioners sugar or molasses <topping of choice>
funnel

Add enough oil to a frying pan to measure at least 2 inches deep.  (You could also use a pot instead of a pan).  Heat to 375F.  (This varies on each stove I've used but would be about Med to Med High heat)
1.  Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into a bowl and mix to blend dry ingredients.
2.  Add egg and milk to a small bowl and mix until well blended, then add to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
3. Fill your funnel with the mix, using your finger to cover the opening at the spout.  Dribble the mix into the heated oil, swirling into circles from the center out.  Each cake should be about 3 inches in diameter.
4.  Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on a paper towel, sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with molasses, or add whatever topping you prefer.  (My favorite is to top with strawberries and whipped cream.)



I will add a picture as soon as I take one.  Sorry my camera is on the fritz.
