Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.

Step 2

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons, carefully drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook the beignets until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked beignets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish the beignets with finely chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free cheddar cheese beignets!
