Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test it by dropping in a small amount of batter; it should sizzle.
  5. Using a piping bag or spoon, pipe the batter into the hot oil in circular motions to create funnel shapes.
  6. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crunchy.
  7. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  8. Dust the warm funnel cake bites generously with powdered sugar before serving.
