Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, lemon extract and cinnamon and mix them well.
- Beat the eggs lightly, and add them to the yogurt and mix well.
- Use a silicone spatula to mix everything together, you should have a smooth batter than is thicker than the pancakes one.
- Heat up the oil in a deep frying pan.
- Use a spoon to scoop batter, and carefully dip it in the pan.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then turn on the other side. You will notice than once they are turned on the other side, they become from flat nice and round.
- Transfer on a plate lined with kitchen paper and once they cool down a bit, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

- Don't use fat-free or low-fat yogurt, the full-fat version is the best, otherwise the consistency of the batter might change.
- Make sure the heat is not too high, otherwise the beignets will brown too quickly, while the middle is still raw.
- Plus then they could look burnt before you have a chance to get them out of the pan. Especially after a few batches, the oil becomes super hot, so do be careful here.
