Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- Begin by taking a large mixing bowl and whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. It’s important to thoroughly mix these dry ingredients to ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed, which will help your bites rise nicely during the cooking process.
- In a separate bowl, crack the egg and beat it until it’s frothy. Then add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. This combination will help create a moist and flavorful batter for your funnel cake bites.
- Now, carefully pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be cautious not to overmix; you want to keep the batter thick and a bit lumpy for the best texture. Set the batter aside while you prepare your air fryer.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. While the air fryer is heating up, lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil. This step helps to prevent the funnel cake bites from sticking and ensures that they come out effortlessly.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop small spoonfuls of batter into the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure to leave space between them to allow for proper cooking and expansion; they shouldn’t be touching as they will spread slightly.
- Carefully air fry the funnel cake bites for 5-6 minutes. If needed, carefully flip them halfway through for even cooking. Keep an eye on them, as air fryers can vary; you want them to turn a nice golden brown without burning.
- Once cooked, remove the bites from the air fryer and immediately dust them with powdered sugar while they are still warm. This allows the sugar to adhere nicely, creating a delightful sweetness with each bite.
- These Air Fryer Funnel Cake Bites are best served warm. Present them with some fun toppings or dips to enhance the experience! Whether it’s a chocolate drizzle or a side of fruit, your options are endless.
Notes
These bites taste best right after cooking, so try to serve them immediately!
