If you're looking for a tasty fall treat, we've got the recipe for you. Our executive chef is sharing his favorite recipe to make Pumpkin Funnel Cake at home.

Serves: 8 5" funnel cakes

• 1½ cups flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• oil for frying
• powdered sugar for dusting over after cooked

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat an inch of oil in a frying pan (be sure the pan is large enough that the oil will not spill out when you add the batter.
