Batter:
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 cups milk (I used almond milk)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Frying and Serving:
- Canola oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, canola oil, melted butter, vanilla extract, milk, and sugar (if using).
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat Oil: Heat canola oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the Bites: Using a mini ice cream scoop, carefully drop batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Drain and Dust: Remove the fried bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve: Enjoy the Funnel Cake Bites while they’re warm and crispy!
Notes
- Work quickly when frying to prevent overcrowding the skillet.
- For a classic touch, drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel before serving.
