Do you have a sweet tooth?

 While we were at Silver Dollar City this 

month, we just had to look for their 

Apple Dumplings with Cinnamon Ice Cream!

Yum, yum!!  I took this photo on my cellphone

and sent it to my kids who sent back texts saying 

things like "so not fair!"  I'm a good parent 

that way...I like to share everything I do. 

I'm still missing Branson and was

having a "gotta have something sweet moment",

so since I'd been thinking of Branson I

thought...Funnel Cakes...which can be found

in abundance there.  So, I just whipped up

a batch of batter and decided to share a couple

of photos and the recipe with you.

Funnel Cakes

1 egg

2/3 cup milk

2 TB. sugar

1 1/4 cups flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

Oil for frying

In a skillet, heat the oil on medium-high heat until hot.

You can test by dropping a pinch of flour in the oil and

when it sizzles, it's ready.

Beat egg and milk.  Mix all the other ingredients in a

separate bowl and add slowly to the egg mixture. 

Beat until smooth.

Using a funnel, drop batter into hot oil starting at

the center and working outward in a web pattern.

Cook a couple of minutes until golden and slightly puffed.

Flip over once while cooking.  

 Then sprinkle with powdered sugar

and serve.

 

I couldn't find my sifter so I just used a teaspoon to

sprinkle on the powdered sugar.  It really looks

much better to sift the powder over the cake!  

It was yummy.  I don't have any idea how many

calories are in this, and being a (slight) diabetic I 

shouldn't eat this at all.  I'll be good tomorrow!  

Life is uncertain.  Eat dessert first.
