Funnel Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk

Preparation

Mix dry ingredients thoroughly, then add eggs and milk, blending well.
With finger over the small hole in funnel, place about 3/4 cup batter in funnel.
Holding funnel over hot shortening, remove finger from small funnel hole.
Slowly move the funnel in rings until all the batter has run out.
When cakes float to the surface and are lightly brown, flip over with a fork, allowing both sides to brown.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar while warm or top with your favorite preserves.
The batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter so that it will run out of the funnel evenly.
These cakes can be made in a cast-iron skillet or a deep fryer.
