Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
Step 2
In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract, whole milk, and melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or large pot over medium heat. The oil should reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the beignets in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they puff up and become golden brown.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets from the oil and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
While warm, generously dust the mini beignets with powdered sugar.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Mini Beignets while they're fresh and warm.
