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
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the milk and two large eggs together until combined.
- Make Batter: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Immediately dust the warm funnel cake bites with powdered sugar to enhance their sweetness and serve them warm.
- 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.
