Funnel Cake

1 cup water

¾ stick butter

1 tablespoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup flour

4 lg. eggs (white and yolks)

2 egg whites

Vegetable oil for frying

Powdered sugar

Boil water, butter, sugar and salt in saucepan. Add flour and work till incorporated and dough forms a ball. Transfer to bowl and let sit to cool for about 5 minutes.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, and mix in.

When dough is mixed, move to ziploc bag with small hole cut in it (or piping bag with a number 12 tip). (What I did was I just spooned it in the oil).

Heat 1 ½ inches of oil in heavy pan. Pipe dough in oil, making a lattice pattern. Cook till brown, flipping once. Remove, drain on paper towels and dust with powered sugar.
