Funnel Cake Bites Recipe

Funnel cake bites are mini fried treats made from a simple batter, crisped to golden perfection, and dusted with powdered sugar. Think classic fairground funnel cake—just smaller, easier, and more fun to eat.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in milk and vanilla until smooth.
  • Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable—add a little milk if needed.
  • Fill a deep pot with 2–3 inches of oil and heat to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  • Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or funnel. Pipe small 2-inch spirals into the hot oil.
  • Fry 3–4 bites at a time for 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Turn gently with a slotted spoon.
  • Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
