Funnel Cake

Hello, Karen here, do you have an interest in those sweet sticky yummy (not so good for you) funnel cakes. They signal the county or state fair. Actually, there isn’t as much sugar in them as I thought. They are fried in oil… maybe before you buy some you could ask the person you are buying them from what they cooked them in. Anyway here is a recipe I found online… if you have a recipe that is different we would love to hear from you. Funnel Cake Recipe courtesy Alton Brown Show: Good Eats Episode: Choux Shine 1 cup water 3/4 stick butter (6 tablespoons) 1 tablespoon sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup flour 1 cup eggs, about 4 large eggs and 2 whites Vegetable oil, for frying Powdered sugar, for topping. Boil water, butter, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan. Add flour and work it in until it is all incorporated and dough forms a ball. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer and let cool for 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer lowest speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely incorporated before continuing. Once all eggs have been added and mixture is smooth, put dough in a piping bag fitted with a number 12 tip. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy pan. Pipe dough into oil, making a free-form lattice pattern; cook until browned, flipping once. Remove cake from oil, drain on paper towels, and top with powdered sugar. Continue until all of the batter is used.
