Tips:
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor in the sauce.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the funnel cake bites. If the oil is too cool, the funnel cake bites will be greasy. If the oil is too hot, the funnel cake bites will burn.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the funnel cake bites. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the funnel cake bites will not cook evenly.
- Drain the funnel cake bites on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the funnel cake bites warm with strawberry sauce and powdered sugar.
