Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 0.25 cups melted chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
Once the oil is hot, transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or a large resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.
Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in small swirling or kiss shapes (about 2-inch circles), working in batches to avoid crowding the pot.
Fry each batch for 1–2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel kisses and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While still warm, dust the funnel kisses with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these crispy, sweet treats with family and friends!
