– Tiana’s Famous Beignets –
A perfect recipe for anyone looking to bring Disney magic to their kitchen.
Makes 16 servings
Time: 36 minutes
Ingredients:
– 2 ¾ cups Flour
– ⅓ cup Sugar
– 2 tsp. Baking Powder
– ½ tsp. Baking Soda
– ½ tsp. Salt
– ½ tsp. Nutmeg
– 1 cup Buttermilk
– ⅓ cup Water
– 1 egg, beaten
– ½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
– Vegetable Oil, for frying
– Confectioners Sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour with your sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk everything together thoroughly and set aside.
- In a separate larger bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, water, egg, and vanilla extract. Then, slowly mix in the flour from before until it becomes a dough mixture.
- Dust a flat surface with flour and place your dough on it, patting it down to a large ½-inch square. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour to prevent it from getting too sticky then slice it into 2 ½-inch squares.
- Heat 2 inches of Vegetable Oil on the stove until the temperature reaches 325° (a deep-fat thermometer is the best way to check the temperature). Check the temperature every so often and turn the heat down if it starts to get too hot. Make sure to be careful on this step as the hot oil can get dangerous.
- Carefully drop the dough squares into the oil 3 at a time. Fry them for 3 minutes, turn them over, and then fry the other side for 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to take out the beignets and set them on top of a wire rack covered with paper towels to drain.
- Dust the beignets in confectioners sugar, plate them, and finally, enjoy.
