New Orleans Biscuit Beignet Recipe: It's Big Easy + Air Fryer Fast

Indulging in the sweet, pillowy delight of a beignet is a quintessential New Orleans experience, and with this air fryer recipe, you can bring that taste of the Big Easy right into your own kitchen in no time at all.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Icing sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

2. Shape the Beignets: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut it into squares or rectangles, ensuring they’re roughly even in size for consistent cooking.

3. Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the dough pieces in a single layer inside the basket, leaving space between them for air circulation. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until they’re golden brown and puffed up.

4. Final Touches: Once cooked, remove the beignets from the air fryer and dust generously with icing sugar. For an authentic touch, serve them warm with a steaming cup of café au lait.

These air fryer beignets capture the essence of New Orleans with their light, airy texture and sweet finish, making for a quicker treat without sacrificing that beloved classic flavour. Enjoy a taste of the Crescent City—right at home!
