Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
- Optional: Whipped cream or fruit for topping
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the salt, baking soda, and sugar to the wet mixture. Stir until fully incorporated. Gradually fold in the flour, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Prepare the Batter: Pour the batter into a gallon-sized Ziplock bag. Seal the bag and set it aside for a few minutes to rest.
- Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, ensuring the oil is about half an inch deep. Heat the oil on high for about two minutes, then reduce the heat to medium.
- Test the Oil: Drop a small bit of batter into the oil. If bubbles form around the edges, the oil is ready. If not, increase the heat slightly until the oil is hot enough.
- Fry the Funnel Cake Bites: Cut a small hole in one of the bottom corners of the Ziplock bag. Gently squeeze the batter into the hot oil, forming 1 to 2-inch circles. Cook until golden brown on one side, then carefully flip to cook the other side.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the bites from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb excess grease. While still warm, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with whipped cream or fruit for extra deliciousness!
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
