Air Fryer Funnel Cakes are the perfect summer dessert! Light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious!

Who doesn’t love this favorite summer dessert! Usually served at carnivals, today I made a great batch of homemade Air Fryer Funnel Cakes.

What Are Funnel Cakes?

Funnel cakes are often served at carnivals, fairs and other outside activities.

They are typically deep-fried, today, I used the air fryer, and they came out light, tender, and delicious.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Funnel Cakes

• All-Purpose Flour
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Milk
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• Egg
• Optional: Powdered Sugar

How To Make Air Fryer Funnel Cakes

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well, be sure to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl.

Use a funnel and pour your batter into either a plastic bag or a squeeze plastic bottle.

Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees for 5 minutes. Spread your batter onto the air fryer tray, and set the time for 3 minutes. Flip halfway during the cooking process. Repeat with the remaining batter. (Note: These do not do well if you make them thin, they will burn so that they will resemble more of a pancake)

Toppings

Today, we served them with some starweberry pie filling, but you can serve this with a vaerity of toppings, some of my favorites are:

• Whipped Cream
• Powdered Sugar
• Caramel Sauce
• Chocolate Sauce

How To Make Funnel Cakes In A Basket Air Fryer

This is so much easier to make in an air fryer oven, but you can add a piece of parchment paper if you have an air fryer basket.

Do not preheat the air fryer with the parchment paper. Place the funnel cake dreictly onto the parchment paper in the center. So the parchment paper does not have any chance of being caught up in the heating element.
