Vegetable oil (approximately 1/2 inch deep)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
02 -
Add salt, baking soda, and sugar to the wet mixture. Stir until combined.
03 -
Gradually fold in flour until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.
04 -
Pour the batter mixture into a gallon-size zip-top bag. Seal and set aside for a few minutes to rest.
05 -
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to a depth of approximately 1/2 inch. Heat on high for about 2 minutes, then reduce to medium heat.
06 -
Check if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it. If bubbles form around the edges, the oil is at the correct temperature. If not, increase heat slightly until properly heated.
07 -
Cut a small hole in the bottom corner of the bag. Carefully drizzle batter into 1-2 circular shapes in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on the bottom.
08 -
Gently flip the funnel cake bites using a slotted metal spatula. Cook until the second side is also golden brown.
09 -
Transfer cooked funnel cake bites to paper towels to absorb excess oil. While still warm, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
10 -
Serve immediately with whipped cream and/or fresh fruit if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
These funnel cake bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm. You can control the size of the bites by adjusting how much batter you pipe into the oil.
02 -
For a traditional fair experience, serve these on paper plates with plenty of powdered sugar.
