Crispy, golden funnel cake bites with a light and fluffy center, generously dusted with powdered sugar for a classic fair-food treat.
Ingrédients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 to 4 cups vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup powdered (confectioner’s) sugar, for heavy dusting
Instructions
- Pour 2 inches of vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or deep skillet.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers exactly 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Stir gently with a rubber spatula just until combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter to a large piping bag, squeeze bottle, or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
- Carefully pipe small, 1-inch dollops of batter directly into the hot oil.
- Fry 6 to 8 bites at a time without overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the bites are puffed and deep golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon or spider skimmer to remove the bites from the oil.
- Transfer the bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- While still hot, dust generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Keep the frying oil at exactly 375°F (190°C) for evenly cooked, golden bites. Avoid overcrowding the pan and do not overmix the batter, as both can affect the texture.
