Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract, whole milk, and melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or large pot over medium heat. The oil should reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the beignets in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they puff up and become golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets from the oil and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While warm, generously dust the mini beignets with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Mini Beignets while they're fresh and warm.
