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 use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry Beignets
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook Until Golden Brown
Fry the beignets for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
