Ingredients

    • 2 cups of milk
    • 1 egg
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • Pinch of salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda

    • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
    • Cooking spray or a light brush of vegetable oil
    • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
    • Whipped cream or fruit (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Batter (Time: 5 minutes):

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
  2. Add in the salt, baking soda, and sugar, and mix well.
  3. Gradually fold in the flour until the batter becomes smooth and well mixed.

Preheat the Air Fryer (Time: 3 minutes):

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.

Prepare the Batter for Air Frying (Time: 2 minutes):

  1. Pour the batter mixture into a gallon-size Ziplock bag and seal it.
  2. Cut a small hole in one of the bottom corners of the bag to create a makeshift piping bag.

Cook the Funnel Cake Bites (Time: 10 minutes):

  1. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it lightly with vegetable oil.
  2. Pipe small circles or bite-sized shapes of batter into the air fryer basket, leaving a bit of space between each one.
  3. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 5-6 minutes, or until the bottom side is golden brown.
  4. Flip the bites over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the bites are cooked through.

Serve:

  1. Remove the funnel cake bites from the air fryer and place them on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
  2. Dust generously with powdered sugar.
  3. Serve warm with whipped cream or fruit, if desired.
