Ingredients
Ingredients:
2 cups of milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 cups of flour
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 tablespoons of sugar
6 tablespoons of butter, melted
Vegetable oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting
Optional toppings: whipped cream, fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce
Instructions
Instructions:
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the salt, baking soda, and sugar. Gradually fold in the flour, mixing until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
-
Prepare the Batter Bag: Pour the batter into a gallon-sized Ziplock bag. Seal the bag and let it rest while heating the oil.
-
Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot enough to fry (test by dropping in a small amount of batter).
-
Form and Fry the Bites: Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and squeeze the batter into the oil to form small bite-sized circles. Fry for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry the other side.
-
Drain and Serve: Remove the funnel cake bites and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Notes
- Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Freezing: Freeze cooked funnel cake bites in a single layer. Reheat from frozen in the oven until warm and crispy.
