1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.

4
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
5
Shape the Beignet Bites
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small amounts of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
6
Fry Until Golden Brown
Fry the beignet bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to turn them gently.
7
Drain and Dust
Once cooked, remove the beignet bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still warm, dust with powdered sugar.
