10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ For Frying
11 -
Neutral oil, for frying
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine active dry yeast, warm water, and granulated sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
02 -
Incorporate buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and all-purpose flour into the yeast mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms, then cover and let it rise in a warm location for about 1 hour, or until doubled in volume.
03 -
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
04 -
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry beignet squares in batches 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
05 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. While beignets are still warm, dip each into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off before serving.

For best results, allow the dough to rise in a draft-free, warm environment. Serve beignets fresh for optimal texture.
