Ingredients
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- vegetable oil (for frying)

For dips (optional):
- Strawberry cream dip:
- ½ cup whipped cream
- 4 mashed strawberries
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)

Birthday cake dip:

Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk egg, melted butter, oil, milk, sugar, and pure vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add sifted flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk well until the batter become homogeneous.
- Heat a pot or a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to make it roughly 1-inch deep. When the oil gets hot, scoop the batter out with mini ice cream scoop and drop into the oil. Cook for a minute on each side, or until lightly golden and continue with the remaining batter.
- When cooked, take the bites out of the pan and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

Dipping sauces (optional):
- In a bowl combine all ingredients for the desired dip and mix until smooth.
Notes
- Feel free to double the ingredients if you want to make more funnel cake bites.
- We recommend to fry funnel cake bites in the oil heated to 350 F. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can make a simple test to check the temperature of the oil: just drop a bit of batter into the oil, if the batter fries calmly - the oil has the right temperature if it smokes or browns quickly - the oil is too hot.
