Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
  • 1/4 ounce active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • melted
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk in the remaining granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, salt, and melted butter into the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 2-3 inch squares or rectangles.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry beignets a few at a time for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Remove beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.
