Funnel Cake Bites
Funnel cakes are one of my favorite summer desserts.I’m always reminded of walking through the fairgrounds as a child looking for these delicious treats. You can make this recipe into regular size cakes, but these bite-size pieces make it fun for kids!
Ingredients
- vegetable oil or shortening for frying
- 2½ cups Bisquick
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1½ cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp salted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- cinnamon sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a frying pan, add vegetable oil or shortening at least 3 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. You will need the oil to reach a temperature of 375°F for frying the funnel cake bites. Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
- While the oil is heating, sift together two and one-half cups of Bisquick, two tablespoons of granulated sugar, and one-quarter teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat two eggs until foamy using an electric mixer.
- Add in one-half cup of heavy cream, one and one-half cups of milk, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, four tablespoons of melted butter, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together until well combined.
- Scoop a tablespoon or two of batter into the heated oil. The batter will puff up and brown on the bottom. Flip it over and brown on the other side.
- Place cooked funnel cake bites on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Sprinkle cooled funnel cake bites with cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.
