Delicious, fluffy beignets dusted with powdered sugar, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and cut into squares.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry beignets in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer beignets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar while warm and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a golden brown color.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep the beignets fluffy.
