Basic Funnel Cake Batter

1 egg

2/3 cup milk

1 1/3 cup flour

2 Tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

Beat the egg in a bowl, add the milk, Mix all the dry ingredients, then add to egg and milk. Mix till lump free.

Fill an iron skillet with 2 inches of corn oil. Hold your finger over the small end of a 3/8 inch funnel. Pour batter into the large end.

Now remove your finger from the small end while holding the funnel 2 inches above the hot oil. Let batter drop in a swirling motion.

Start in the center and work your way out to an 8 inch diameter.

Fry on each side about 1 1/2 minutes using tongs to flip.

Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Eat warm

Tip: What if you don't have a funnel? Try pouring the batter in a steady stream from a measuring cup with a spout.
