We were playing that game again - the game where you see how long you can go without grocery shopping. It had been long, so long since our last grocery trip. There was no fresh eggs, milk, butter, cheese, or meat in the house.
Still, we wanted a delicious and satisfying Sunday breakfast. Enter funnel cake recipe. This is easy to whip up, and perfect for foot storage. Try it! You won't be disappointed.

Whole Wheat Funnel Cakes
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 TB sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup powdered milk (1 cup water mixed with 1/3 cup powdered milk)
1 tsp vanilla
2 TB whole flaxseed
5 TB water
oil for frying
1/2 c powdered sugar for dusting (or jam, syrup, canned peaches etc.)

*This recipe makes about 8 large funnel cakes

In a blender (or mortar and pestle if you're into that sort of thing,) grind the two tablespoons of flaxseed. Add the 5 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5-10 minutes until thickened.

In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients together, including the flaxseed mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients and mix together. In a small or large frying pan, fill the pan with at least 1/2" to an inch full of oil. Let the batter sit while the oil is heating up. Test the oil's hotness by dropping a small amount of batter in the pan. If if bubbles and rises to the top quickly, the batter is hot enough to begin cooking. If the oil is too cold, the funnel cake will absorb the oil and become soggy.Too hot and the funnel cake will burn
within seconds. You are looking for light golden brown puffy goodness.

Pour 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup batter into a funnel directly over the pan. Hold your finger over the opening of the funnel until ready. Start in a spiral motion, beginning from the outside and spiraling toward the center. Then make a squiggly cross-back pattern to connect the spiral. Cook for about 30 seconds, and then gently flip it over with tongs. Cook another 30 seconds and place funnel cakes on a plate lined with paper towels, cloth napkins, or paper bags. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, canned fruit, or jam!
