Funnel Cake

Funnel cake is a regional food popular in North America at carnivals, county fairs, sporting events, and seaside resorts. Funnel cakes are made by pouring batter into hot cooking oil in a circular pattern, overlapping or cris-crossing and deep frying the overlapping mass until golden-brown. Here's my homemade "FUNNEL CAKE!" topped with fresh and strawberries or whipped cream, strawberry jam and or ice cream sprinkled with powdered sugar. Yummy!!!
