   (You need a metal funnel to make these delicious
   Pennsylvania Dutch specialties. )
 
   about 1 quart - Corn oil Confectioners sugar
 
   Stir together first 5 ingredients. Mix egg and milk;
   add to flour mixture. Stir until batter is smooth.
   Pour oil into skillet (no more than 1/3 full). Heat to
   375 degrees. An electric fry pan is excellent for
   this. Holding forefinger over end of funnel, pour 1/4
   cup into funnel. Place over hot oil and remove finger
   to let batter flow. As batter flows, move funnel in a
   circle to form a spiral cake. Fry, turning once, 2
   minutes or until golden brown. Drain and sprinkle with
   sugar. Repeat. Makes enough for 6 funnel cakes.
 
   Note: instead of the sugar, try drizzling with a thin
   icing and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
