Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 c. self-rising flour
  • 1 1/3 c. milk
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • Sifted powdered sugar (optional)
  • Vegetable oil

Directions

Combine flour, sugar, milk and eggs in bowl, beating until smooth. Heat 1/4 inch oil to 375 degrees in a skillet. Cover bottom opening of a funnel with finger. (Funned with a 3/8 inch opening works best). Pour 1/4 c. batter in funnel. Hold funnel over skiller; remove finger to release batter into hot oil; move funnel in a slow circular motion to form a spiral. Fry each cake 1 min. or till edges are golden brown; turn and fry other side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired; serve warm.


Makes about 1 dozen 5 inch cakes.
