It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers.
So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is FUNNEL CAKE.
I have a guilty secret. As many times as I went to the carnival growing up, I never tried a funnel cake. Thankfully, one of my daughters took pity on her poor, deprived mother and bought me one at a county fair. Every time I see one now my mouth waters. Since I don’t attend fairs often, I was delighted to find this recipe. A fun, fast treat your family will love!
I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
Karen

FUNNEL CAKE
[Makes 6 cakes]
1 large egg 1 T. baking powder
¾ cup milk 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup unsifted flour Powdered sugar
In heavy, wide saucepan, heat 1½ to 2 inches salad oil to 360 degrees. In medium bowl, beat egg with milk; stir in flour, baking powder, ¼ tsp. salt and cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Holding finger under funnel with a 1/3-inch wide opening, pour ¼ cup batter into funnel. Starting in center of skillet, drop batter into hot oil; move funnel in circle to make snail-like coil of rings, each about 6-inches in diameter. Fry cake, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes each side. Place on paper towel lined wire rack in warm oven while frying remaining cake. If batter thickens, add more milk. Sprinkle powdered sugar over cakes before serving.
