How to Make Beignet (From Scratch)

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor and is dairy-free.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Stevia reduces calories while still providing sweetness.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is a dairy-free option.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative.

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of active yeast to the dry ingredients and mix together.

Pour in warm water gradually while mixing until the dough reaches the right consistency, not too thick or watery.

Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, prepare to shape the beignets by rolling or cutting them out.

Fry the beignets until golden brown, then remove them from the oil.
