Method

Beignet Preparation

1

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

2

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.

3

Combine Mixtures

Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

4

Heat Oil

In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 360°F (182°C).

5

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.

6

Drain and Dust

Remove the beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
