Mini Funnel Cakes.. A few weeks ago, I shared with you one of my favorite treats from the State Fair of Texas, Deep Fried Cookie Dough, well here is another of my favorite fair foods… As you can probably guess from the title and the picture it is funnel cake! Only this funnel cake is in a much friendlier portion size.

Typically State Fair funnel cakes look like this.. The cake is the size of the plate and you feel sick if you eat one by yourself (not that I would know from experience or anything) I decided that I wanted to make funnel cakes that were a more manageable size. This required a few modifications from the traditional funnel cake. Traditional funnel cakes are made by filling a funnel with batter and then moving that funnel over hot oil in circular criss crossing motions to make the iconic funnel cake shape.

As you can see, the principle is still the same, only with using a smaller bottle you have more control over your cake’s shape. There is no right or wrong way to make the design. Dry ingredients.

Harry Potter's Butterbeer Recipe Uncovered? Got butterbeer? Harry Potter fans are all abuzz about butterbeer, and they've got the foamy mustaches to prove it. The cold and creamy, frothy drink is the most popular food item at the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando, according to Universal spokesman Tom Schroder, with visitors lining up to try it.

"Then they would walk around and have this mustache on," said Sabrina Sampson, 11, of Richmond, Va., who described the drink as tasting "like cream soda. It was somewhat thick, and it was really sweet, and then it got salty as you swallowed it, like butterscotch. " Schroder said that about half the visitors to The Wizarding World sample butterbeer. "There may be no bigger product launch smash this year than butterbeer," WalletPop.com said. "It's interesting that one small thing they can sell for a few dollars is getting as much attention as the rides," said Gabe Travers, who reviewed the park for WESH.com, the NBC affiliate in the Orlando area.
