Funnel Cake
Funnel cake (Pennsylvania German: Drechderkuche[1]) is a regional sweet food popular in North America, found mainly at carnivals and amusement parks.[2] It is made by deep-frying batter. History The concept of the funnel cake dates back to the early medieval Persian and Arab world as zalabiyeh, where similar yeast-risen dishes were first prepared, and later spread to Europe.[3] Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants brought the yeast dish, known as drechderkuche, to America, and around 1879, they developed the baking powder version along with its new name, funnel cake....
