Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For Frying

  • as needed vegetable oil for frying
  • as needed powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk briefly so the dry mix is even and free of lumps.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and glossy.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined, with a few small lumps.

Frying

  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
  • Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown on all sides.
  • Remove the beignets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Serve with dipping sauces like chocolate sauce, fruit jam, or salted caramel for added enjoyment. Store leftovers in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb steam.
