Ingredients:

2 1/2 c. self-rising flour
1 1/3 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
Sifted powdered sugar (optional)
Vegetable oil

Directions:

Combine flour, sugar, milk and eggs in bowl, beating
until smooth. Heat 1/4 inch oil to 375 degrees in a skillet. Cover bottom
opening of a funnel with finger. (Funned with a 3/8 inch opening
works best). Pour 1/4 c. batter in funnel. Hold funnel over skiller; remove
finger to release batter into hot oil; move funnel in a slow
circular motion to form a spiral. Fry each cake 1 min. or till edges are
golden brown; turn and fry other side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with
remaining batter.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired; serve warm.
Makes about 1 dozen 5 inch cakes.
