Funnel Cake

So my sister was talking about the state fair the other day and how much she likes all the deep fried food that can be found there, especially funnel cakes. After she left, I thought to myself, what's a funnel cake? So I looked on the internet and this is what I came up with. I rate this a 3.5. It was good but didn't knock my socks off. If you have a fabulous funnel cake recipe, will you please email it to me?

Funnel Cake

from momswhothink.com
Ingredients:

1 egg
2/3 cup milk
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

Funnel Cake 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.
