Beignet Bites

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the beignet dough

    In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Combine wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine wet and dry

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the beignets

    Drop tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

  6. 6

    Drain and dust

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm with a side of heavenly cream sauce.
