1 Egg, beaten
2/3 c Milk
1 1/4 c Flour
2 tb Sugar
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
Beat milk with egg. Blend dry ingredients and gradually add the milk
mixture, beating constantly until batter is smooth. Holding your finger
over bottom of a funnel having a 3/8 to 1/2 inch hole, fill funnel with
batter. Holding funnel as near surface of fat as possible, remove finger
and drop batter into deep fat heated to 375 using a circular movement from
center outward to form a spiral cake about 3″ in diameter. Immediately
replace finger on bottom of funnel and then form other cakes (as many as
will float uncrowded). Fry until cakes are puffy and golden brown, turning
once. Remove cakes with a slotted spoon to absorbent paper to drain. Sift
confectioners’ sugar lightly over cakes or drizzle with molasses and serve
at once. 2 – 2-1/2 dozen cakes
