These golden, sweet Funnel Cake Bites are crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and dusted with powdered sugar for that perfect carnival flavor — made right in your own kitchen.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Slotted spoon
- Paper towels
- Deep frying pan or pot
Ingredients
Funnel Cake Bites
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk and eggs until smooth and frothy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles on contact.
- Using a small spoon or scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Fry each bite until golden brown, about 1 minute per side, flipping as needed.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a twist, coat bites with cinnamon sugar instead of powdered sugar. These are best served fresh and warm.
