butter

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while maintaining a rich flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + powdered milk

Almond milk offers a lower-calorie alternative.

Combine 3 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk and eggs together.

Combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients, mixing until well incorporated to form a dough.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until it is smooth and slightly sticky, adding more flour as needed.

Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes on the floured surface.

After resting, knead the dough again for about 1 minute.

Roll out the dough to a square shape, ensuring it is not too thin to maintain fluffiness.

Cut the rolled dough into smaller squares to form beignets.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot until hot.

Fry the dough squares in the hot oil until they are golden brown and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Prepare a glaze by mixing 1.5 to 2 cups of powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

Place the fried beignets on a rack over a pan to catch excess glaze, drizzle the glaze over them, and dust with powdered sugar.
