Quick Fried Beignets
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the liquids of water, milk, and egg to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth consistency is achieved.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, monitoring the temperature to reach 360 degrees F (or 180 degrees C) on a thermometer.
3
Carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil, using a spoon to create uniform balls. Cook, gently turning them once, until they float to the surface and transform into a golden brown, puffy delight, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove the fried treats from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
