Hey, y’all! Ready to bring the fair home? We’re making Funnel Cake Bites! 🎡 These mini, crispy, and powdered-sugar-covered bites are everything you love about classic funnel cake but in bite-sized form. Perfect for parties,
movie nights, or just when you’re craving something sweet and fried. Let’s go! 😋🍬
📝 Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola works best)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (the more, the better!)
👩🍳 Directions:
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Your batter should be kinda thick, like pancake batter. 🥞
Heat the Oil: Pour about 2 inches of oil into a deep frying pan or pot. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test it by dropping a little batter in—if it bubbles and floats to the top, it’s ready! 🛢️🔥
Fry the Bites: Use a spoon to drop little dollops of batter into the hot oil. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes per side, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan so they cook evenly! 🍩✨
Drain & Dust: Once your funnel cake bites are crispy and golden, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Immediately dust them with a TON of powdered sugar—don’t be shy! It’s all about that powdered sugar magic. 🌟
Serve & Enjoy: Serve your funnel cake bites warm with more powdered sugar or even dip them in chocolate or caramel sauce for extra sweetness. 🤤
