"The American Family Cookbook"
List of Ingredients
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tblsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup milk
Fat for deep frying, heated to 375 F.
Confectioner's sugarRecipe
1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add a mixture of egg and milk, beating until batter is smooth.
2. Holding finger over bottom of a funnel having a 3/8 to 1/2 inch hole, fill funnel with batter. Hold funnel as near surface of heated fat as possible; remove finger and drop batter into hot fat, using a circular movement from center outward to form a spiral cake about 3 inches in diameter. Immediately replace finger on bottom of funnel; then form other cakes (as many as will float uncrowded).
3. Fry until cakes are puffy and golden brown, turning once. Lift from fat with a slotted spoon, and drain for a few seconds before removing to paper towels.
4. Sift confectioner's sugar lightly over cakes and serve warm.
2 to 2 1/2 dozen cakes
