    I’ve never had a funnel cake before. I almost had one over the weekend at the fair, but I decided to try an elephant ear for the first time ever. It was okay. A bit too much sugar for me.

      Oh, my poor child. I’d mail you one if I could.

      Alton covers it in Good Eats “Popover Sometime”. Popovers use a similar batter.

      Stupid easy to make. My mother wasn’t much of a cook (bless her heart), and still taught us to make them as kids.

      Do you like donuts and/or fritters? If so, imagine them combined in a vaguely circular, bumpy, crunchy disc. Funnel cakes are amazing - if you eat them plain, there’s not a lot of sugar too. Of course, the classic is with all sorts of sugary condiments crusting the top…

        I enjoy fresh donuts that aren’t overly sweet. I went to Krispy Kreme when it opened in my city, pretty excited because of its popularity, thinking I was going to get the best donut I’ve ever tasted. It was disgusting. I felt like I was eating a sugar soaked sponge. So, too much sugar ruins something for me, but a savory and sweet donut is pretty tasty.

          I like a good plain donut (and dislike Krispy Kreme) myself. I think you’d like a good funnel cake!
