I made these for the SECOND time and let me tell you the family said ” They were PERFECT ”
If you made them CORRECTLY, they are the perfect Beignets!!!!

In reply to Cindy. Hi Cindy! This is incorrect. While beignets and donuts do have similarities, they differ in more than just their shape. Beignets are lighter and airier and this recipe reflects that :)

These aren’t beignets. They’re square doughnuts.

They turned out great! And if anyone else has someone who can’t eat fried foods like me, you can bake them pretty quickly just make sure you add a vessel of water for steam and bake at 375 and flip after a few minutes. They are slightly denser but still delicious.

I baked these and they turned out PERFECT! 10-12 minutes at 350F (which converted to 325 in my convection oven). I brushed them with milk before I put them in the oven, and brushed them with melted butter when they came out (and sprinkled with icing sugar of course). They aren’t AS delicious as deep frying (obviously)…. But still pillowy soft inside and my kiddos ate them up. I used bread flour which I highly recommend for all yeast recipes if you have it on hand!

I didn’t have enough oil, so I melted coconut oil, made a thin layer of oil over my dough and put them in an air fryer for 5 minutes at 370 F, But the bottom was not cooked fully so I flipped them over and started it for another three minutes and they came out great!

I just tried these and oh my word, this is the best recipe! It’s my first time making or having beignets (not too commonplace in South Africa) and I’m so pleasantly stunned. Mine did not turn out as pillowy, no idea why but they still taste amazing.

In reply to Margaux. Hi Margaux! Sorry for the delay. You may substitute instant yeast. To do this, combine yeast, sugar, salt, and half the flour and then add the warmed milk and water and stir well, then stir in butter, then egg, then stir in remaining flour as needed. :)

So I understand that if you use instant dry yeast you don’t have proof it, but what steps do we need to follow in order to have the same outcome as when you use active dry yeast?

In reply to Robyn. It will definitely expand a bit when fried so I'm not sure the shape would turn out great. :(

Do you think these would hold there shape if I cut the dough with cookie cutters prior to frying?

In reply to Rosie. Hi Rosie! Yes they can be filled just as you would fill a donut. Pastry cream is a great option! Enjoy :)
