How to make funnel cake bites
Step 1. First, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Once the dry ingredients are combined, set aside.
Step 2. Get out another mixing bowl and mix together the wet ingredients. Once the milk and eggs are combined, slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Step 3. Next, add oil to your pan and heat on medium heat until the oil is hot. This normally takes about 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Drop the funnel cake batter by the spoonful into the hot oil.
Step 4. Finally, line a plate with paper towels and put the bites on the plate. Top with powdered sugar right away. These are best served warm.
Funnel cake topping or dipping sauce ideas
Try some of these other ideas for toppings. You can also use some of these ideas for dipping if you would rather not put it on top of the dessert.
- Powdered sugar – this is the traditional topping and still one of my favorites!
- Cinnamon and sugar- Mix this together and sprinkle on top.
- Ice cream and hot fudge– Put several in a bowl and top with ice cream and fudge. Yum! This is so good.
- chocolate syrup and whipped cream- I like to put chocolate sauce in a ramekin and dip them in it.
- fruit – Strawberries and blueberries are delicious on top. Go ahead and add some whipped cream too.
- Strawberry sauce– this is delicious!
- Pie filling- You can either put them in a bowl and top with pie filling or use the pie filling as a dipping sauce. We like apple, cherry and blueberry pie filling with whipped cream.

Can you perhaps make these in an air fryer?
I haven’t tested that yet so I’m not sure. I think that this batter would be too runny for the air fryer, so I’m thinking this recipe wouldn’t work. If you try it out, let us know how it turns out!
