Beignet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry Beignets

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop the dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Coat

    Remove the beignets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While warm, dust with powdered sugar.
