How to Make Funnel Cake Bites
This recipe couldn’t be simpler. Let’s walk through it together:
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Make the Batter
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. The batter should resemble pancake batter—thick but pourable.
Step 4: Heat the Oil
Heat about 1.5–2 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (use a thermometer if you can for best results).
Step 5: Fry the Bites
Drop small spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon) of batter into the hot oil. Don’t crowd the pan! Fry for about 1–2 minutes per side until they’re puffed and golden brown.
Step 6: Drain and Dust
Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites and let them drain on paper towels. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
Step 7: Serve Immediately!
These are best enjoyed fresh—warm, crisp, and sweet.
