1. Prepare the Batter:

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.

2. Heat the Oil:

Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a candy thermometer to check the temperature. If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small bit of batter into the oil; if it floats to the top and starts to sizzle, the oil is ready.

3. Fry the Funnel Cake Bites:

Shape Bites: Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the tip cut off. Pipe small, circular shapes (about 1-inch in diameter) into the hot oil, creating a spiderweb pattern or random shapes. You can use a spoon to help guide the batter into the oil.
Fry in Batches: Fry the bites in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel cake bites from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

4. Prepare the Topping:

Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon (if using).
Dust the Bites: While the funnel cake bites are still warm, dust them generously with the powdered sugar mixture.

5. Serve:

Garnish: Serve the funnel cake bites warm with optional fresh berries or fruit on the side.
Add Dipping Sauces: For extra indulgence, offer whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce for dipping.
