Ingredients

  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla
  • 2 cups of flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 6 tablespoons of melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter until well combined.
  2. Add in the salt, baking soda, and sugar, and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Slowly fold in the flour, until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Transfer the batter mixture into a gallon-sized Ziplock bag and set it aside for a few minutes to rest.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, filling it to about a half-inch deep.
  6. Turn the burner on high heat for approximately two minutes, and then reduce the heat to medium.
  7. Test the oil by dropping a small drop of batter into it. If bubbles start to form around the edges, the oil is ready. If not, turn up the heat slightly until the oil is hot enough.
  8. Cut a small hole in the bottom corner of the Ziplock baggie using scissors. This will serve as a makeshift piping bag.
  9. Slowly drizzle the batter into the hot oil, creating small circles about 1 to 2 inches in diameter.
  10. Cook the bites until the bottom half is golden brown, then gently flip them over using a slotted metal spatula.
  11. Cook the other side until it reaches the same golden brown color.
  12. Place the cooked bites on paper towels to absorb any excess grease, and sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
  13. For an extra touch of deliciousness, serve the funnel cake bites with whipped cream or fresh fruit as a delightful topping.

Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy these delectable funnel cake bites. They are sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you to a happy place filled with cherished memories and sweet indulgence.
