A light and lemony batter is deep fried and dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet May Day treat. In Finland it's enjoyed alongside Sima, a fermented lemon soda. Of course it's not limited to only May Day. Recipe from Saveur, photo by Laura Sant

How To Make finnish may day funnel cakes (tippaleipä)

1
Heat enough oil in a 6-qt. saucepan to reach a depth of 2" until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375°.

2
Whisk sugar, salt, eggs, and zest in a bowl until smooth. Alternate whisking in milk and flour until a smooth batter forms.
3
Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a plain 1⁄4" tip. Working in a swirling motion, pipe batter into oil until an 8" swirled cake forms.
4
Fry, flipping once, until golden and slightly crisp, 2-3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cake to paper towels to drain; repeat with remaining batter.
5
Let cakes cool slightly; dust with confectioner's sugar before serving.
