Method
Beignet Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Heat Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 360°F (182°C).
Fry Beignets
Using a spoon or a small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Dust
Remove the beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
