🍩 Funnel Cake Bites
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: ~25 minutes
Servings: About 20–24 bites
📝 Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Line a plate with paper towels.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk and vanilla.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined — batter should be thick but pourable.
- Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized amounts of batter into hot oil. Fry in batches, turning once, until golden brown (about 1–2 minutes per side).
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately!
✅ Tips:
- Keep oil temperature steady for even cooking.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Serve with chocolate sauce, caramel, or berry jam for dipping!
🧊 Storage:
- Best fresh, but you can reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to crisp them up.
- Not recommended for freezing.
