"Secrets to Cooking TexMex"

Funnel Cakes  Always popular at NIOSA and craft shows.
INGREDIENTS
: DIRECTIONS:
Combine all the ingredients in a large (6 quart) bowl that has a pourable spout.

Heat cooking oil until hot. (See Note following)

Put 1/2 cup of the batter into the funnel; be sure to cover spout with one finger.
Using caution, hold your index finger over the hole in the funnel.  Over hot oil,
release some batter in circular motions, then crisscrossing motions, to form one
funnel cake. The funnel cake will rise quickly and expand, so be careful how
much batter you use until you get a feel for cooking it.

Cook to light golden brown on both sides, then remove from oil and place on paper
towels to drain. Sprinkle with powdered cinnamon and powdered  sugar and serve while
still warm.

Note: Presto makes a 6 quart deep fryer that is available at most all Wal-Marts for less
than $20.00.  Used without the basket, this fryer is perfect for home use when making
funnel cakes.  It is the perfect size and maintains the temperature, which is critical
when making funnel cakes.
