Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cup All-Purpose Flour plus more for dusting
- ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 cup Buttermilk or Whole Milk
- 1 Large Egg lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Vegetable Oil or Peanut Oil, for frying
- Honey for drizzling (optional)
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep Dutch oven, add enough frying oil to reach about 2 inches up the sides. Place over low heat until the oil reaches 325˚F on a deep-fry or instant-read thermometer. Keep your eye on it while the oil heats, and prepare the dough.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients a little at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula after each addition. Once all of the wet ingredients are added, mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Dust a clean work surface with a small amount of flour. Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto the flour, and knead for about 30 seconds, until it is smooth and elastic. If needed, add small amounts of flour to prevent sticking, but be careful not to add too much.
- Dust the work surface with more flour if needed, and gently pat and press the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Carefully cut the dough into 12-15 rectangles, depending on the desired size.
- Check to make sure the frying oil has reached the proper temperature. Carefully add 3-4 beignets to the oil and fry for about 3 minutes. Flip the beignets over, and fry for an additional 3 minutes, or until golden brown and nicely puffed. Use a kitchen spider or slotted spoon to transfer the cooked beignets to a baking sheet or large plate that has been covered with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining beignets, making sure to occasionally check the oil temperature.
- Once all beignets have been fried and drained, transfer them to a serving plate or platter. Drizzle with the honey and dust liberally with the powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
