Funnel Cake Bites

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. Step 2

   Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until foamy and pale yellow, approximately 2 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Whisk in the whole milk and vanilla extract to the egg mixture.

4. Step 4

   Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate medium bowl.

5. Step 5

   Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture until there are no lumps or pockets of dry ingredients; be careful not to overmix.

6. Step 6

   Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with approximately 2 to 3 inches of oil (no more than halfway up the pot) and heat the oil to 375 F over medium-high heat.

7. Step 7

   Using a cookie scoop, fill about 1/3 of the scoop with batter. If you fill it with too much batter, it will not fry well and will be raw in the center. Carefully add the batter to the oil.

8. Step 8

   Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip about half-way through, frying to make sure both sides are golden brown.

9. Step 9

   Remove the funnel cake bites out of the oil with a slotted spoon or spider and onto a paper-towel-lined plate.

10. Step 10

    Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
