1

Open the Pillsbury pizza crust by hitting it on the counter to pop it open.

2

Flatten the pizza crust out using a rolling pin, trying to keep it in a square shape.

3

Cut the flattened dough into squares using a pizza cutter or knife.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a fryer to about 350°F (175°C).

5

Carefully lower the dough squares into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding.

6

Fry the dough squares until they float to the top, indicating they are cooking properly.

7

Check the color of the dough; once it is golden brown on one side, flip it over to brown the other side.

8

Remove the fried beignets from the oil and place them on a pan.

9

Sprinkle powdered sugar over the hot beignets while they are still warm to ensure it sticks.
