Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until smooth. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls (the size of a walnut) and set aside on a plate. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Just before serving, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep, heavy pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer to 365°F (185°C). Working in batches to avoid crowding the pot, fry the balls until golden brown all over, moving them around in the oil to make sure they cook and brown evenly.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels or brown paper. Repeat with remaining beignets, making sure to let the oil return to 365°F (185°C) between batches. Dust the beignets with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
Notes
- The dough balls can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
