Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups milk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vegetable oil for frying

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Heat the Oil: Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pan and heat to 350°F (175°C). Test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil — it should sizzle and float to the top.
Fry the Bites: Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag. Squeeze small circular patterns or loops into the oil. Fry in batches for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer the bites onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Dust and Serve: While still warm, generously dust the funnel cake bites with powdered sugar. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
