Time out for Congo Squares ---

I have no idea where I got this Recipe.

Or why it is named after a country -- 

I don't make this very often -- because I don't need these around --- because they are so goooood.

Apple Funnel Cake - Yeah Summer

When it is Summer -- I chose things that are wonderful to make and easy --

I found this funnel cake recipes years ago -- but it is easy and so good.  

You will Enjoy this -- (yes you can serve this for breakfast)

Apple - Cinnamon Funnel Cakes

Salad Oil

1 1/4 cup flour

3/4 cu apple juice or cider

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 salt

1 egg

Ground Cinnamon

2 Tbs. Confectioners' Sugar (Powdered)

Heat your oil to about 325 degrees

Mix dry ingredients, and add wet ingredients. Stirring until smooth.

I tried this with a funnel, but the mouth of my funnel was to small, so I just poured it in with a measuring cup that had a good pour spout.

Pour about 1/4 cup into the funnel.  Over the hot oil, carefully pour the batter out in a stream, while making a spiral about 6 inches in diameter (I make them smaller - that way all the kids didn't have to wait until the large ones were cooked)

Fry until golden brown (this happens quite quickly)  Drain well on paper towel.  Repeat with remaining batter, stirring well before pouring the next cake.

In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon.  Sprinkle cakes with the cinnamon - sugar mixture.  

Serve Warm.
