Beignettes
Method
Preparation
- 1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together until well combined.
- 2
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this will affect the texture of the beignettes.

Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry Beignettes
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop small amounts of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed.

Drain and Dust
Once cooked, carefully remove the beignettes from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
