Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil spray

Instructions

  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil.
  6. Spoon or pipe small dollops of batter into the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other. You may need to cook in batches.

  8. Carefully remove the funnel cake bites from the air fryer.
  9. Dust generously with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • For crispier bites, ensure the batter is not too thick. Add a tablespoon more milk if needed.
  • You can add cinnamon to the batter for a spiced flavor.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh.
