Funnel Cakes III

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 1/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Directions

Beat egg. Mix in milk. Sift flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder; beat into egg mixture until smooth.

Pour oil into a heavy pan until it is 1 inch deep. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Pour batter through funnel into oil with a circular motion to form a spiral. Fry until lightly brown; turn over to brown the other side. Cook to golden brown, and remove to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar while still warm.
