There is no doubt that the best part about visiting the Wisconsin State Fair is trying all of the new foods the fair has to offer. When the Gather Wisconsin team visited the 2024 Wisconsin State Fair, one food stood out among all the rest: 2024 Sporkies Winner Deep Fried Lemonade Bites from Saz’s BBQ.
After trying these delicious bites last summer, we were determined to recreate our own air fryer recipe version at home. Pulling out the air fryer and a little bit of creativity, we think we found our match with these Air Fryer Lemonade Bites. Simply whip up some French toast batter, fill your Hawaiian rolls, air fry and enjoy!
The Wisconsin State Fair has so much to offer. From animals to rides and, of course, great food, you are sure to have a great time during the best 11 days of the summer.
Check out our top three fair experiences to check out while you are in West Allis. Don’t forget to swing by the Wisconsin State Fair Foundation Milk House to visit Gather Wisconsin while you are there – you can even meet the cows behind the milk before you go!
