Description

These Funnel Cake Bites are a delightful twist on the classic fair treat, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth cravings.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Batter:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 2 cups milk (I used almond milk)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Additional:

  • Canola oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Batter Preparation: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, canola oil, melted butter, vanilla extract, milk, and sugar (if using).
  2. Adding Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  3. Frying: Heat canola oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter; it should start frying calmly immediately.
  4. Frying the Bites: Using a mini ice cream scoop, drop batter into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry until golden on both sides.
  5. Serving: Remove the fried bites onto a paper towel-lined plate. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Be cautious when working with hot oil.
  • Adjust sugar according to your sweetness preference.
