Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups flour (approximately, you're looking for a thin batter)
oil or fat, for frying

Steps:

  • Beat eggs well; add milk and salt.
  • Sift baking powder and flour together and add liquid mixture gradually, stirring well to make a smooth batter (which should be a little thicker than for pancakes, but not as thick as a drop batter).
  • Beat hard until very light.
  • Preheat oil or fat in a large pan to 360°F.
  • Pour batter into a funnel, holding a spatula under the hole; allow batter to flow from funnel into hot fat, beginning in the center and shaping a circle and gradually increasing circle being careful not to let batter overlap to make a solid cake.
  • Fry to a golden brown on one side, turn with a fork when cake rises to top and fry on the other side.
  • Serve hot with tart jelly, maple syrup or apple butter.
