1 teaspoon Baking soda

specialties. )

about 1 quart Corn oil Confectioners sugar

Stir together first 5 ingredients. Mix egg and milk; add to flour mixture.
Stir until batter is smooth. Pour oil into skillet (no more than 1/3 full).
Heat to 375 degrees. An electric fry pan is excellent for this. Holding
forefinger over end of funnel, pour One fourth cup into funnel. Place over hot oil
and remove finger to let batter flow. As batter flows, move funnel in a
circle to form a spiral cake. Fry, turning once, 2 minutes or until golden

Note: instead of the sugar, try drizzling with a thin icing and sprinkle
with chopped nuts.
