Description

These Funnel Cake Bites are crispy, golden, and perfectly fluffy on the inside. Theyโ€™re bite-sized versions of the classic fair treat, making them easy to share and even easier to eat. Topped with powdered sugar, they are a delightful dessert or snack for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
  4. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, carefully drop small dollops of batter into the hot oil. Fry the bites in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
  5. Remove the bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Dust the warm bites generously with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, drizzle the bites with chocolate syrup, caramel, or your favorite sauce.
  • Be cautious with oil temperatureโ€”too hot can burn the bites, while too cool will make them greasy.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
