Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Chill the Batter

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 6

    Fry Beignet Bites

    Using a small scoop or spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Remove the beignet bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 8

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    While still warm, dust the beignet bites generously with powdered sugar.

  2. 9

    Serve Warm

    Serve the beignet bites warm and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
