Air Fryer Beignet Recipe

WHAT IS A BEIGNET?

Every cultural group, irrespective of how big or small, has its own model of fried dough. Pennsylvania has funnel cakes. 

Ontario has beaver tails. Newfoundland has toutons. And New Orleans has beignets – their version of a fritter or doughnut, dusted with powdered sugar and eaten with joy. 

Beignets are little pillows of heaven, however those little pillows can take a while to make and deep-frying them could make a mess, so make air-fried beignets alternatively! 

By air-frying your beignets, you could keep your self a variety of paintings and mess and reduce the guilt that would accompany every scrumptious chew.

Air Fryer Beignet Recipe

prep time: 20 MINScook time: 5 MINStotal time: 25 mins

These air-fried beignets are scrumptious on their very own, however you could make a chocolate sauce or raspberry sauce to get dressed them up if you want. To make a remarkable smooth and short raspberry sauce, stir ¼ cup of raspberry jam together with 1 tablespoon of heat water. Thin it just to the consistency you want for dipping.

INGREDIENTS:

  • ¾ CUP lukewarm water about 90ºF
  • 1 generous teaspoon active dry yeast ½ envelope
  • ¼ CUP sugar
  • 3½ TO 4 CUPS all-purpose flour
  • ½ TEASPOON salt
  • ½ CUP evaporated milk
  • 2 TABLESPOONS unsalted butter room temperature and cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • ¼ CUP melted butter
  • chocolate sauce or raspberry sauce to dip
  • 1 CUP confectioners’ sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Combine the lukewarm water, a pinch of the sugar and the yeast in a bowl and let it proof for 5 minutes. It should froth a little. If it doesn’t froth, your yeast is not active and you should start again with new yeast.
  2. Combine 3½ cups of the flour, salt, 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining sugar in a large bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the egg, evaporated milk and yeast mixture to the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon (or the paddle attachment of the stand mixer) until the dough comes together in a sticky ball. Add a little more flour if necessary to get the dough to form. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for at least 2 hours or until it has doubled in bulk. Longer is better for flavor development and you can even let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight (just remember to bring it to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe).
  3. Roll the dough out to ½-inch thickness. Cut the dough into rectangular or diamond-shaped pieces. You can make the beignets any size you like, but this recipe will give you 24 (2-inch x 3-inch) rectangles.
  4. Pre-heat the air fryer to 350ºF.
  5. Brush the beignets on both sides with some of the melted butter and air-fry in batches at 350ºF for 5 minutes, turning them over halfway through if desired. (They will brown on all sides without being flipped, but flipping them will brown them more evenly.)
  6. As soon as the beignets are finished, transfer them to a plate or baking sheet and dust with the confectioners’ sugar. Serve warm with a chocolate or raspberry sauce.
