(You need a metal funnel to make these delicious
Pennsylvania Dutch specialties. )

about 1 quart - Corn oil Confectioners sugar

Stir together first 5 ingredients. Mix egg and milk;
add to flour mixture. Stir until batter is smooth.
Pour oil into skillet (no more than 1/3 full). Heat to
375 degrees. An electric fry pan is excellent for
this. Holding forefinger over end of funnel, pour 1/4
cup into funnel. Place over hot oil and remove finger
to let batter flow. As batter flows, move funnel in a
circle to form a spiral cake. Fry, turning once, 2
minutes or until golden brown. Drain and sprinkle with
sugar. Repeat. Makes enough for 6 funnel cakes.

Note: instead of the sugar, try drizzling with a thin
icing and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
