Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Funnel Cake Bites
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully incorporated. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  3. In a deep pan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by about 2 inches and heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F.
  4. Once the oil is hot, carefully drizzle the batter into the oil in spiral shapes, allowing each Funnel Cake Bite to form about 2 inches in diameter.
  5. Fry the Funnel Cake Bites for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use tongs to flip them halfway through.
  6. While warm, dust the Funnel Cake Bites generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
