Funnel Cake

Funnel Cake is a deep fried pastry made by pouring the batter through a funnel into hot oil and then serving with powdered sugar, jam or honey.

The history of Funnel Cake history is debatable. Popular opinion is that the treat was popularized by German immigrants in the state of Pennsylvania who served the treat during harvest festivals and holidays. The name comes from the way the dish is prepared, which is pouring batter through a funnel into hot oil. Some sources claim the treat is a descendant of the oliebol which are a dessert similar to donuts. The reality is many cultures have variations of the funnel cake, such as the Spanish who have a treat named Churros. One thing is for sure, today the dish is one of the most popular sweet treats in America. They are a staple of Amusement Parks, Sporting Events and wherever there are social gatherings or celebrations.
