The Fair is here!! Actually I am not that fond of fairs the lines the prices and the crowds. But I will gather my strength and brave the crowds for a heavenly confection that is always served at fairs. Yes, you guessed it the Funnel Cake. Before I go on about my love of the funnel cake I will give you a little history on it. Funnel cakes are a german treat originating from the Pennsylvania dutch and was introduced to the fair around 1949 and were sold for around .25 cents . Funnel Cakes are made by pouring batter through a funnel in a circular motion into hot oil and then deep fried. Once done they are covered with powdered sugar,jams or other toppings. I always knew I loved Pennsylvania two of my greatest loves came from there,my husband and Funnel Cakes!!! My grandmother introduced me to my first funnel cake , and I have been under the spell of their temptation from that day forward. The fair is this week. And yes I will go ,if only for the time it takes to grab my funnel cake and run. So if you are at the fair and you see a streak of powdered sugar fly by it is probably me jetting my way out of the crowds with a huge smile on my face. Ahh powdered sugar coated Happyness.
