15 Minute Funnel Cake Bites make the popular fair food easy to prepare any time of the year!
Well…. Doughnuts… or… Donuts. Which way is really correct?! Do you know?! Because here in Iowa 9 out of 10 times we’re going to call them donuts, but then when you go to one of the coasts you find doughnuts. I mean really… to-may-toe, to-ma-toe, right?
I started out this adventure with the wrong month apparently when I decided to choose donuts as a theme, but I also had Breakfast Donut Burgers in mind too (which I still plan to get on the blog soon!)… but needless to say that didn’t get done so I whipped up one of my fair favorites in mini form!
I used to devour funnel cakes at the fair when I was younger; when I didn’t gain 20 pounds by just looking at them! Now days, I can only handle two or three bites and I’m done. That’s why these 15 Minute Funnel Cake Bites are perfect for the person who craves funnel cakes, but yet doesn’t want to gain the 20 pounds by eating the whole thing.
Honestly, these could probably be called 10 minute instead of 15 because they’re done that quickly! Mix up the ingredients, drop into hot grease and toss in sugar, then you’re done! Easy as that!
