Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
  6. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beignets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Dust the warm beignets generously with powdered sugar before serving.
