Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional

  • Nonstick spray (for air fryer basket)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth, thick but still pourable, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with a nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Portion Batter: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of batter for each bite into the air fryer basket, making sure to space them slightly apart to allow for expansion while cooking.
  5. Air Fry: Cook the funnel cake bites in the air fryer for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden brown and puffed evenly on all sides.
  6. Serve: Transfer the cooked bites to a plate and dust them generously with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the batter is thick but pourable to get the perfect texture for the bites.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
  • Flipping halfway through ensures the bites cook evenly on both sides.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Serve with chocolate sauce or fresh fruit for an indulgent twist.
