Heat at least 1" of oil to 375°-385° in either in a deep fryer or a skillet. Any lower temperature and the waffle quickly absorbs much more oil, which you don't want.

To form each funnel cake, place one finger over the hole in a funnel. Carefully fill the funnel with batter. Over hot oil, carefully remove finger from funnel opening, allowing batter to go out the hole into the hot oil. Make circular or other shapes with batter; for best results contain the spread of the shane pe inside a metal ring set onto the bottom of the pan.

Cook for 1 minute, then (using tongs) turn to cook the other side. Cook until golden brown, about another minute or so. Drain on paper towels.

Add topping, serve warm. Top with canned Cherry Pie Filling, hot fudge, or simply whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, or vanilla ice cream. Or try applesauce, or apple slices cooked in butter and sugar and pinch of cinnamon, or fresh fruit slices.
