New Orleans Beignets

Prep Time 15 mins

Cook Time 20 mins

Rising Time 2 hrs

Total Time 2 hrs 35 mins

Servings 16 beignets

Ingredients

3 cups (415g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons sugar, divided

1 cup warm whole milk

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 large egg

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 1/2 to 2 quarts vegetable oil

For the topping:

3 cups powdered sugar

Special Equipment

Stand mixer

Method

Start the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 3 cups of flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Bloom the yeast: In a 4-cup measuring glass or medium bowl, combine the warm milk (it should be about 100°F), remaining tablespoon of sugar, and yeast, and allow it to sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Make the dough: Beat the egg into the foamy milk mixture and add the mixture to the mixing bowl of flour. Mix by hand or using the paddle attachment with your stand mixer set to low or medium low, until you get a wet dough with shaggy dry bits throughout. This can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes depending on how you’re mixing. Swap out the paddle attachment for the dough hook. Add the melted butter. Set the mixer to medium-low until the butter is incorporated, about 1 minute.

Knead the dough: Turn the mixer up to medium or medium-high (depending on the size and weight of your mixer) and knead on the hook for about 6 minutes. The dough should be tacky to the touch but not so wet that you can’t handle it.

Shape the dough and let it rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic and allow it to rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours depending on the temperature of the room.

Set up your frying and dusting stations: Fill a large 4-quart pot with a few inches of vegetable oil (about 2 quarts). Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet and place it next to the pot of oil along with tongs. Sift 3 cups of powdered sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl and set next to the rack and a sheet pan.

Cut the dough and heat the oil: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out into an oblong shape (about 10 inches by 14 inches and 1/4 inch thick). Cut the dough into 16 rough rectangles and cover with a flour-dusted tea towel to rest while you heat the oil.

Fry the beignets: Heat the frying oil to 325°F. Fry the beignets in batches until golden, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.

Drain and coat the beignets in sugar: Use your tongs or a frying spider to lift the beignets out of the frying oil and place them on the baking rack. Let some of the fat drain off for about a minute before covering in powdered sugar. You want to coat them with sugar while the beignets are still hot, but not straight out of the fryer dripping in oil. Drop the drained beignets into the bowl with the powdered sugar. Turn to coat. Repeat with the remaining beignets.

Serve: Serve warm with another generous dusting of powdered sugar and hot coffee on the side.

Easy Authentic Beignets

★★★★ 4 from 2 reviews

Author: Melissa Griffiths - Bless this Mess

Total Time: 1 hour 40 min

Yield: 24 beignets 1x

You are in for a treat with this classic New Orleans beignet recipe. Beignets are pillowy, deep fried dough, dusted with powdered sugar, and to die for!

Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110℉)

1 tablespoon instant or rapid-rise yeast

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cups all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon salt

Confectioners’ sugar (at least 1 cup)

Additional 2 quarts of vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Whisk in the eggs and 2 tablespoons of oil into yeast mixture.

 Add the flour, salt and stir together until well combined. The dough will be a bit sticky, that's ok.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap (sometimes lightly wetting the edge of the bowl helps the plastic wrap to stick on tightly). Refrigerate dough for about an hour, until it has nearly doubled in size. 

Prepare for frying the beignets by setting a wire rack into a rimmed baking sheet. Line a second baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels.

Pour the 2 quarts of oil into a heavy bottomed Dutch oven or large skillet, it should fill the bottom of the pot 2-3 inches. Heat over medium to medium-high heat.

Transfer dough onto a floured counter and cut in half. With one half of the dough, pat into a rectangular shape with floured hands, flipping to coat with flour. Roll dough out into ¼-inch-thick rectangle (about 12 by 9 inch).

Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into twelve 3-inch squares.

Repeat this process with the second piece of dough.

When the oil is 350℉ (using a thermometer is the easiest way to gauge this), add a few beignets at a time (don't over crowd the pan). Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes total, flipping halfway through frying.

Transfer beignets to the pan with the paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.

When they are cool enough to touch but still hot place them on the rack set inside the pan. Dust heavily with confectioners’ sugar and serve warm.

Notes

Don't let a little frying scare you! It's so fun to know how to make things like this even if the cooking method might be new to you. A heavy bottomed pan, a thermometer, and a spider strainer (to get the food out of the hot oil) will make all the difference.

Don't be stingy on the powdered sugar and consider serving them with a shaker of powdered sugar on the side so folks can add more as they like while eating. That's how they are served in New Orleans.

New Orleans-Style Beignets

"

These easy New Orleans-style beignets will transport you right to the French Quarter.

YieldMakes about 22 beignets

Prep time 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes

Cook time 20 minutes

Ingredients

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup whole milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

11/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 large egg, beaten

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus more for kneading and cutting

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 quart peanut or vegetable oil, plus more for the bowl

1 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

Measuring cup and spoon

Large Dutch oven

Candy or deep fry thermometer

Rolling pin

Pizza cutter or sharp knife

Large fine-mesh strainer

Instructions

Warm the water and milk. Place the water and milk in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on full power. Alternatively, you can warm the milk and water in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 1 minute. The mixture should be warm but cooler than 100°F.

Proof the yeast in the warm milk mixture for 15 minutes. Whisk the sugar into the milk mixture, then sprinkle with the yeast and set aside for 15 minutes until the yeast has become foamy.

Beat in the the egg, butter, and flour. Add the egg, salt, butter, and 2 cups of the flour to the milk mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula until the mixture is thick but smooth. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and beat again until just combined. You’re looking for a thick batter-like consistency that is closer to drop biscuits than bread dough here.

Cover a work surface with flour and knead the dough. Dust a work surface with about 1/4 cup more flour and dump the dough onto it. Gently fold the dough over itself 3 to 4 times (the dough will be sticky and a little loose). Gently shape the dough into a round and place in a well-oiled bowl (you can reuse the mixing bowl if it is mostly scraped clean). Cover with a clean kitchen towel.

Let the dough rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Set the bowl in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Alternatively, you can cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 hours.

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven to 370°F. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer over medium-high heat until 370ºF. Line a baking sheet with two layers of paper towels. If the dough is in the refrigerator, pull it out just before you heat the oil to give it 20 to 25 minutes to lose its chill while the oil warms up.

Roll out and cut the dough. While the oil is heating, dust a work surface with about 1/4 cup of flour and dump the dough onto it. Roll the dough out to a 17x11-inch rectangle that is about 1/4-inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 20 to 22 (about 2-inch square) pieces. Don’t fret if some of the corner pieces are more triangular, and don’t reroll the dough.

Fry 3 to 4 pieces at a time for 2 to 3 minutes. Fry 3 to 4 squares at a time: Gently add the beignets to the oil (you can use your hands or tongs). Immediately use a large heatproof spoon to ladle the hot oil over the pieces. Fry the first side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Using the spoon or tongs, flip the beignets and fry until the second side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Transfer the fried beignets to the baking sheet. Transfer the pieces to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.

Dust the beignets heavily with powdered sugar just before serving. Just before serving and while still warm, use a large fine-mesh strainer to generously dust the beignets with powdered sugar.

Recipe Notes

Make ahead: These beignets are best eaten fresh, but the dough can be made the night before and proofed in the refrigerator overnight.

This easy, yeast-free beignet recipe is a snap to throw together the morning after your Mardi Gras celebration.

As a classic and traditional French recipe, this one will not produce the French Quarter-style beignets that are so familiar in New Orleans. Instead, it is made with choux pastry dough, which is the dough used in cream puffs and éclairs. Made using only butter, water, flour, and eggs, the moisture in the dough allows it to rise without the need for yeast. This is what makes it the easiest version of beignets, and you can make them on the spur of the moment.

Absolutely delicious, these French beignets puff up wonderfully when deep-fried. The batter includes a high proportion of eggs, so the taste is reminiscent of French toast. It's a tasty change, a fun recipe to try, and they're wonderful when served alongside fresh fruit or preserves.

You can use a deep fryer or a pan that is deep enough for the oil to fry the beignets. A deep fryer should allow setting the temperature, but you will need to use a thermometer if using a pan.

"This recipe produces delicious beignets. It really is quick and easy to whip up. I appreciate that the ingredients are pantry staples, and clean-up is minimal. The batter requires some work to mix because it gets stiffer with each egg, but it comes together nicely. They’re best with lots of sifted powdered sugar." —Colleen Graham

A Note From Our Recipe Tester

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, or canola oil, for deep-frying

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup water

1/4 teaspoon fine salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 large eggs

3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps to Make It

Gather the ingredients.

Fill a deep pot with 2 inches of oil and heat to 375 F.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter in the water over medium-high heat.

Add salt and flour, and quickly stir until a sticky batter is formed. Remove from heat.

Beat in the eggs, 1 egg at a time, until the batter is smooth.

Fry mounded teaspoons of dough, several at a time, for about 6 minutes or until light, golden brown on each side. Don't crowd the fryer; ensure each beignet has plenty of room to move around. They may flip over by themselves, or you can use a slotted spoon to flip them so they cook evenly on all sides.

Drain the beignets for a few minutes on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips

When cooking in several batches, ensure the oil comes back up to temperature before starting the next batch. A splatter screen reduces splashes of oil and is a handy tool if you fry in a pan often.

The dough will get very stiff with each additional egg. While it will seem very liquidy at first, keep mixing until it's smooth.

A small (1-inch diameter) cookie dough scoop makes quick work of dropping the beignet dough into the hot oil and ensures uniform size. Grease it lightly with cooking spray for best results.

Lighten up the confectioners' sugar and remove any clumps by filtering it through a fine-mesh sieve as you dust the beignets. Alternatively, put the confectioners' sugar in a bag, add the beignets, and shake the bag gently to coat them.

Tiana's Famous Beignet Recipe

My first time ever making beignets was when I followed the recipe in my little sisters' Princess and the Frog cookbook. It was fantastic, quick, and so easy! Highly recommend this recipe!

"

A recipe for New Orleans beignets from The Princess and The Frog - Tiana's Cookbook Recipes for Kids.

PREP TIME 30 minutes

COOK TIME 6 minutes

TOTAL TIME 36 minutes

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup water

Guys, I made a basic vanilla ice cream to test it and it worked. So then I made pumpkin spice, mint, and what i call LAUSD-cake ice cream bc it's got all the spices from their coffee cakes in a servicing of ice cream. I don't have an ice cream mixer, but I do have a food processor so I shake it once as it starts to get ice crystals if I have the time, then leave it to fully freeze. Because of the fat content and sugar though, it's still pretty pliable and so easy to break up and throw in the food processor to get the lovely soft serve feel. highly recommend this!

author ashley manila

yield 3 dozen

Now you can have New Orleans-Style Beignets without leaving home!

Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups warm water, between 110 and 115 degrees (F)

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 and 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 cup evaporated milk

2 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

7 cups bread flour

1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

4 cups peanut oil, for deep frying

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

In a medium-size bowl, add the warm water, sugar, and yeast and whisk well to combine. Sit aside for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture has bubbled up and become foamy.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,  beat the eggs until smooth. Beat in the vanilla and evaporated milk. Beat in 3 and 1/2 cups of the flour until smooth. Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly pour in the yeast mixture (careful here - this mixture can splash up if added to quickly!); beat until smooth. Add in the butter and beat until incorporated. Finally, beat in the remaining 3 and 1/2 cups of flour and salt. Beat until dough is smooth and cohesive; about 2 minutes. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with three layers of paper towels, set aside.

In a large enameled cast-iron pan, heat 4-inches of oil to 360 degrees (F). Remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut the dough into 2 and 1/2-inch squares.

In batches, fry the dough until they puff up and are golden brown in color, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beignets to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve at once!"

So there were a few differences for me when I made this recipe. I thought I was going to have to freeze the dough, so per another account I read of what to do when freezing dough, I added double the yeast . However, I didn't have space in the freezer so I simply left it in the fridge. I believe that accounted for my immense yield that, despite making so much and having to cut people off bc the sugar content was too high, barely lasted through the weekend. I also used regular all purpose flour and the only thing I noticed from it was that the dough was very play do-y when I cut it. But it was still perfectly chewy and soft after I fried them.

Lastly, she says to use 2 cups of powdered sugar but that's tbh overkill. I did homemade powdered sugar and the device I use to do the sugar is too small for more than a cup and a half at a time. So I made it easy on myself and did 1 cup at a time. That was MORE than enough to cover my four platters worth of beignets. So I wouldn't use the 2 cups unless you're going to be doing something else with them like dunking them into black coffee or something.

BTW! As I mentioned in my previous post, I made a lot of milk ice cream. one of the things I did was cut a beignet in half and fill it with some of the LAUSD ice cream. my goodness! with the simple sweetness of the bread and light dusting of sugar, plus the nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves of the LAUSD ice cream, it was a match made in heaven. Absolutely scrumptious!

Guys, I made a basic vanilla ice cream to test it and it worked. So then I made pumpkin spice, mint, and what i call LAUSD-cake ice cream bc it's got all the spices from their coffee cakes in a servicing of ice cream. I don't have an ice cream mixer, but I do have a food processor so I shake it once as it starts to get ice crystals if I have the time, then leave it to fully freeze. Because of the fat content and sugar though, it's still pretty pliable and so easy to break up and throw in the food processor to get the lovely soft serve feel. highly recommend this!
