Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large eggs
- 3 quarters of a cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop tablespoon-sized dollops of the batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the beignets for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets from the oil, letting them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
While still warm, dust the beignets generously with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve or sifter.
Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciously fluffy mini beignets!
