1 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. milk
2 tsp. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
Vegetable oil for frying
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat together the milk and egg, then blend in the flour mixture, beating just until smooth. Let stand about 10 minutes.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a deep skillet until very hot. Drizzle the batter in a thin stream into the hot oil, starting in the center and spiraling out to desired size. Fry on both sides until golden brown, about 35 seconds. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Makes 6 (6 inch) cakes.
