Description
Delicious and crispy funnel cake bites, perfect for sharing and customizable with various toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Stir well to mix all the dry ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat. Test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and bubbles up, the oil is hot enough.
- Fry the Bites: Using a piping bag or a squeeze bottle, carefully squeeze the batter into the hot oil in small round shapes, about the size of a golf ball. Fry the bites for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the funnel cake bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Dust with Powdered Sugar: While still warm, sprinkle the funnel cake bites generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your tasty funnel cake bites while they’re warm and crispy!
Notes
For best results, dust with powdered sugar right before serving and avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bites light and fluffy.
