This reminds me of funnel cakes we would get (and still can) at the Texas State Fair. The main difference being that funnel cakes start with a batter rather than dough, and you pour the batter through the bottom of a funnel into a circle (or whatever shape you want) into the hot oil. Drain on paper towels and shake on that powdered sugar! As I recall, the amount of oil was less than "deep fried", i.e. immersion ,as well. Your recipe looks fantastic and I can't wait to try it. I won't even have to drive to Dallas and wrangle Big Tex to do it :) Yeah, all you have to wrangle for these is everyone standing there with their hand out saying, "Me first!" Funnel cakes are indeed very similar - in fact, you might want to check out our funnel cake recipe. I'd love to see the Texas State Fair sometime - must be awesome! PJH
