Notes: By Cynthia May Lehighton. The Times News, PA Use an old-fashioned iron skillet, they seem to work best. Fill it 3/4 of the way full with vegetable oil. Dip a fork in the batter and dip it in the hot fat. If it fizzes, its hot enough to start frying funnel cakes. Then spoon batter into a funnel, closing bottom of it with your finger. Remove finger from bottom of the funnel so that the batter drops into the pan in a spiral form. After they are fried to a golden brown on one side, turn with a fork. To serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Posted to recipelu-digest by ncanty@juno.com (Nadia I Canty) on Mar 6, 1998
