Retro Funnel Cakes

Retro Funnel Cakes

1 ¼ cup all purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg

¾ cup milk

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Add eggs and milk. Beat mixture until smooth.

Heat 1/4 inch vegetable oil to 190°C in a skillet. Cover bottom opening of a funnel with your finger. A funnel with at least a 3/8 inch opening works best. Pour 1/4 cup batter into funnel. Hold the funnel over the centre of the skillet. Remove finger from funnel end to release the batter into the hot oil.

Move funnel in a slow circular motion to form a spiral or other design. Fry two minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot with syrup or fruit.
