Drechter Kucha - Funnel Cakes

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 cups flour (approximately, you're looking for a thin batter)
• oil or fat, for frying

Directions

1. 1

   Beat eggs well; add milk and salt.

2. 2

   Sift baking powder and flour together and add liquid mixture gradually, stirring well to make a smooth batter (which should be a little thicker than for pancakes, but not as thick as a drop batter).

3. 3

   Beat hard until very light.

4. 4

   Preheat oil or fat in a large pan to 360°F.

5. 5

   Pour batter into a funnel, holding a spatula under the hole; allow batter to flow from funnel into hot fat, beginning in the center and shaping a circle and gradually increasing circle being careful not to let batter overlap to make a solid cake.

6. 6

   Fry to a golden brown on one side, turn with a fork when cake rises to top and fry on the other side.

7. 7

   Serve hot with tart jelly, maple syrup or apple butter.
