1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
1 egg (beaten)
3/4 c. milk
Vegetable oil
Sifted powdered sugar

Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl, beating until smooth. Heat 1/4 inch oil to 375 degrees in a skillet. Cover bottom opening, of a funnel, with finger. Funnel with a 3/8 inch opening works best. Pour 1/4 cup batter into a funnel. Hold funnel over skillet.

Remove finger from funnel end to release batter into hot oil and move funnel in a slow circular motion. Fry each funnel cake 1 minute or until edges are golden brown then turn and fry other side until golden. Drain on absorbent paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm. Yield about 8 (5 inch) cakes.
