By: NcMysteryShopper
Sep 7, 2005
A traditional Finnish dessert of festivals and celebrations. The Tippaleivät is a round ball version of the American funnel cakes. The use of a medal collar will aid in the ball shape when making these fritters.
SERVES 6 -12
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- oil, to fry (vegetable or coconut)
Directions
1
Mix the eggs and sugar, but don't beat! Add the other ingredients and stir into a smooth batter.2
Put the batter into a paper cone or a pastry bag fitted with a small-holed nozzle.3
Squeeze the batter in a thin band into the hot oil. Use a spiral motion to form nest-like cookies. If possible, use a metal ring in the pot to keep the cookies in shape.4
When the cookies have turned golden brown, remove and drain them on paper towels.5
Dust the cold cookies with powdered sugar.

This was fun to make. It reminded me of going to the fair when we use to eat these all the time. Very easy and the boys just could not wait for them to be done to eat.

These were fun. Very easy, and wouldn't you know it, just about the time my batter is gone, I start getting the hang of making nice little swirls! Thanks NC! Nick's Mom

Love funnel cakes! My only reason for going to craft fairs, and the kettle corn. Another tip is that you can get those plastic ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles and fill with batter and then squeeze out into the hot oil.

This is a fun recipe and a really great one to do for kids!! It was very easy and quick, too. I let some of the ones I did get too thin and they got crispy, but the cakes/cookies I kept thick ended up very soft and really were very similar to cakes that you buy at the fair!! Thank you!! I suspect this will become a favorite at our house!!
