Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to blend the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the Bites:
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the funnel cake bites for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Dust and Serve:
- Immediately dust the warm funnel cake bites with powdered sugar. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- You can serve these bites with dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel for an extra treat.
