1

Combine yeast and warm water in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

3

Add eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture; mix well.

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a smooth dough forms.

5

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

6

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

7

Scoop spoonfuls of the dough and carefully drop into the hot oil, frying in batches.

8

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, turning as needed.

Remove beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

10

Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
