Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface for about 3-4 times, then roll it out to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 2-inch squares and heat the oil in a deep pot to 360°F (182°C).
- Fry the squares in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid greasy beignets.
- Serve warm for the most authentic taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
