Guess I'm in the mood to type recipes today
I have a few that I will put up that are tasty, convenient, and low cost. I will post each of them separately so that you may copy only what you want to keep rather than having one long runon thread.
Here is the first one:
Funnel Cakes
2 Beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 Cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Cups cooking oil
Sifted powdered sugar
In mixing bowl combine eggs and milk. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to egg mixture; beat smooth.
In deep skillet heat oil to 360 degrees.
Covering spout with finger, pour 14 cup batter ito funnel. Remove finger and release batter into oil in a spiral, starting in center and winding out. Fryy till golden, about 3 minutes. Turn carefully; cook 1 minute more. Drain on paper toweling; dust with powdered sugar. Makes 6 to 8 funnel cakes.
Note: I don't use a funnel for this personally because the batter is so thick and my funnel isnt wide enough at the narrow part to let the batter out in a steady stream, thinning it makes the batter not puffup like it should. So, i use a pitcher with a pour spout and carefully pour it out to make the spiral. I find it much easier to pour all the batter into the pitcher than to have to keep refilling the funnel. I don't like having lots of extra crap to juggle.
I was thinking, a little nutmeg and maybe one additional egg might make some tasty donught holes if you just poured out some plops of batter into deep oil (so that the plop can float). If the oil level gets low, then the plops tend to make thick little pancakes. Big plops in deep oil would make a nice doughnut you could later fill with a pudding. Yum!
