Mix the milk, egg, vanilla, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add the flour and add the baking soda on top of the flour. Whisk it all together until smooth. Pour into a squeeze bottle until you are ready to use.
Heat your fryer, or heat about 2 or 3 inches of oil in a heavy bottom pan. Drizzle the funnel cake mixture into the pan to form buns, starting small because the cakes will expand as they cook. You want them to only beabout 4 inches in diameter.
Remove from oil and place on a rack until ready to use.
Add the butter to a pan with the onions. Season with salt and cook over medium high heat, stirring often, for about 30 minutes to become golden, and charred in some areas, but not fully caramelized.
Heat a cast iron pan or griddle to high heat. Split the meat into 4 meatballs. Season the balls with salt all around.
One by one, add to the pan and cook 2 minutes. Flip and smash as thin as you can. Repeat with all the balls.
Flip the burgers and top with a slice of cheese. Double them up.
Put two bottom bun funnel cakes down, then top with some mayo. Top with the burgers, then add onions and pickles. Add on the top bun and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve.
