Print Recipe

Light and airy French beignets flavored with vanilla, perfect for a sweet breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
  6. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Remove the beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your oil is at the correct temperature. Too cool and the beignets will be greasy; too hot and they will burn before cooking through.
  • You can adjust the amount of vanilla extract to your preference.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
