Ever made a Pennsylvania Dutch cake?

MMMM! I will have to try that recipe our for sure. Thanks.

The funnel cake batter looks very similar to a pancake batter only thinner and more fattening. Funnel Cakes 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 2 cups sifted flour 1 teas. baking powder 1 teas. salt 2 cups vegetable oil cinnamon sugar Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs and the milk. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture. Beat with a mixer until smooth; the consistency should be thin enough to run through a small kitchen funnel. Test it and if it is too thick beat in a little more milk; if too thin, beat in a bit more flour, In an eight inch skillet, heat the oil to 360 degrees. Put your finger over the bottom opening of the funnel, and fill the funnel with a generous 1/2 cup of the batter. Hold the funnel close to the surface of the oil, and release the batter into the oil while making a circular motion. Fry until golden brown, use tongs and wide spatula to turn the cake over carefully. Fry the second side 1 minute. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar

Sounds like something I can try to make from scratch. Still, I tend to avoid things that require frying in 1" of oil. :) Just doesn't seem healthy.

The fruit is probably a bit healthier. We used powdered sugar. I had one, they are tasty.

Hey thanks for the recipe. My niece just called the other day about a easy recipe she could make for a treat. But I was wondering, Do you have to use all-purpose flour or can you just use self rising and omit the salt and baking powder?

You could probably use the self rising and leave out the leavening agents.
