Funnel Cake Bites are a favorite at home. These are particularly popular during summer. These funnel cake bites remind me of the funnel cake truck at our summer carnival. But, instead of standing in a long line of people waiting to be served, I chose to make these delightful Funnel Cake Bites at home. My kids love these and the best part is we can enjoy these delicious Funnel Cake Bites any time of the year!

INGREDIENTS :

• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ¼ c. whole milk
• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 4 c. vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar, for garnish
• ¼ tsp kosher salt

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until foamy and pale yellow. Add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until blended.

Step 2: In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Into the wet mixture, slowly add the sifted ingredients, mixing until just blended and smooth. Make sure not to over-mix.

Step 3: Add oil to the pot, filling it to about 2 to 3 inches. Let the oil heat to about 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. To the hot oil, add 1/3 scoop of batter. Cook it for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown

Step 4: On a paper towel-lined plate, transfer the funnel cake bites. Sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve right away. Enjoy!

Tips:

Before frying, ensure the oil is at 375 degrees F. I suggest using a deep-fry thermometer so you can monitor the oil temperature.
