deep frying part 1

A strange spell came over the hill when we purchased a deep fryer. We all got this overwhelming urge to deep-fry anything and everything we could put batter on and send for a dip in the scalding oil. I personally think that there is no better sound then that of the bubbling oil. So we took it slow at first. Just being content with just cooking crispy potatoes and squash sliced thin and tossed in. And we loved them, there is possibly nothing better than some deep fried potatoes dipped in a little sour cream. They are the BEST. Now after cooking the potatoes I decided that I wanted to get a little more adventures. So I took a little flour and my favorite recipe finding web site (recipezarr.com) and whipped us up some funnel cake batter. After a couple failed attempts we decided to do it right and use a funnel. The funnel worked like magic and in no time we had nice golden brown and delicious funnel cakes. Covered in powdered sugar and with just 28 grams of carbohydrate per serving, they were a delicious treat. But we didn’t just stop at funnel cake. We fried more unusual suspects. Let me tell you what else we fried next post….. stay tuned!!
