OMG, I'm In Heaven.

Neither of which I believe in, BTW.  This is just too good to be true.  This is like County Fair Double-Wide Delight come to life.  Get ready for this...  would you believe deep-fried Kool-Aid???

Now, you all know that I just LOVE anything deep-fried.  Snicker's bars.  Twinkie's.   Waffle's.  Sticks of butter.   Bacon with chocolate as a "dipping" sauce.  M&M peanuts (yeah, a little hard to beer batter).   Rice Krispy treats.  Macaroni and cheese.  Hell, I even deep-fried a honeydew melon once.   The explosion was awe inspiring.  But Kool-Aid???  Nothing in my book says more fun than a vat of hot, bubbling oil and a fruit flavored liquid.   Especially when it is served on a stick next to the Tilt-a-Whirl outside of the Livestock Pavilion.   Read and enjoy...

3 eggs
2 cups of milk
1/4 cup of sugar
3  2/3 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup cherry Kool-Aid powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 deep fryer

Beat the eggs and sugar together in a mixing bowl.  Slowly add the milk while beating slowly.  Add all of the dry ingredients and beat until the mixture is creamy.  The mixture should be bright pink in color.  Add more Kool-Aid powder as desired.

Drop large dumpling sized spoonfuls of the batter into hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes.  Remove when the batter is golden brown and crispy.  Insert stick.

Optional:  If desired, the  deep fried batter can be rolled in a mixture of cherry Kool-Aid powder and powdered sugar after it is fried.  Use about 1/4 cup of Kool-Aid and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.  Have 911 on speed dial and have some insulin on hand just in case while you wait for the ambulance to show up.

This beats the sheep shearing demonstration HANDS DOWN!!!
