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
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop small dollops of batter into the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Work in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the funnel cake bites from the air fryer.
Dust generously with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a different flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
