Cooking

Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry Beignets
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, remove the beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with a dipping sauce or lemon wedges if desired.
