Betty's Fall Festival Funnel Cakes
Instructions
Combine 1 cups plain flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, teaspoon baking powder, and teaspoon salt. Set aside. Beat 1 egg in a medium-sized mixing bowl, and add cup milk to the beaten egg. Add dry ingredients to the milk and egg mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Heat 1 inch of peanut oil to 350 degrees in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Cover bottom of a funnel with your finger. Pour cup to cup batter into funnel. (I found that cup of batter makes a better design.) Hold funnel over center of pot of heated oil. Remove finger from funnel end to release batter into hot oil. Move funnel in a slow circular motion to form a spiral, beginning at the center and moving outward. Fry 2 minutes, or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on rack, or on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar, and move to serving dish while warm. Place blueberry or strawberry sauce alongside. Enjoy!!! --Betty
