  • Cook Funnel Cake Bites:

    • Drop spoonfuls of batter carefully into hot oil (or use a small funnel to drizzle batter into small rounds).
    • Fry each batch for 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.

Notes

  • Maintain oil temperature for evenly cooked funnel cake bites.
  • Use a funnel or squeeze bottle to easily pour batter into the oil.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
