Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, carefully drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the beignets until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
Transfer the cooked beignets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Optionally, garnish the beignets with finely chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free cheddar cheese beignets!
