  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 36 bites

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil

Topping

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the milk and two large eggs together until combined.
  3. Make Batter: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Heat Oil for Frying: Pour approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil into a saucepan and heat over medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes until hot but not smoking, suitable for frying.
  5. Fry Funnel Cake Bites: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry each side for 60 to 90 seconds until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried funnel cake bites from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Add Powdered Sugar: Immediately dust the warm funnel cake bites with powdered sugar to enhance their sweetness and serve them warm.
  8. Repeat Frying: Continue frying the remaining batter in batches until all funnel cake bites are cooked.

Notes

  • Make sure the oil is hot before frying to ensure the bites cook quickly and absorb less oil.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites from the oil safely.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
  • You can add cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Be cautious when frying to avoid oil splatters.
