Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Funnel Cake Bites
  1. Beat 2 large eggs in a mixing bowl until foamy. Gradually stir in 1 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg (if using), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
  3. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
