Funnel Cake Bites – Golden, Crispy, and Carnival-Worthy!

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Batter

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
2. Add sugar, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring to combine.
3. Slowly fold in the flour, mixing just until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

2. Prep for Frying

4. Transfer the batter into a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Set aside while the oil heats.
5. Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan to about ½ inch depth. Heat over high for 2 minutes, then reduce to medium heat.
6. Test readiness by dropping in a small bit of batter—it should sizzle and bubble immediately.

3. Fry the Bites

7. Snip a small hole in one corner of the batter bag.
8. Pipe 1–2 inch rounds or swirls of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.
9. Use a slotted metal spatula to flip and remove the bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
