**Outside of the American Adventure is a stand which  sells these fried treats. The smell is wonderful and the  "cakes" are as big as a plate. Try them topped with  strawberries and whipped cream.

Penn Dutch Funnel Cake

    Yield: 1 batch

1 1/3 c  Flour

  1/4 ts Salt

  1/2 ts Soda

    2 T  Sugar

  3/4 ts Baking powder

    1    Egg; beaten

  2/3 c  Milk; or more as needed

         Oil; for frying

         Sugar, confectioners

Into a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.  In  another

bowl, beat the egg and milk together.  Add to the dry  ingredients,

and beat until smooth.

Fill a skillet or pan with 1 inch of cooking oil and heat to a

temperature of 375 F.  Now cover the small hole of a  clean funnel

with a finger. Then fill the funnel with the batter.   Carefully move

your finger away from the hole in the funnel, allowing the  batter to

flow into the skillet. Move the funnel to form patterns  with the

batter.  Fry until golden brown, about 1 or 2 minutes,  turning once

with two spatulas. Remove to paper toweling to drain.   Place on a

plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot.  Repeat the process

until all of the batter is used up.
