Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 cup plant-based buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Powdered sugar (plant-based) for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine plant-based buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (natural). Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring gently until just combined. The dough should be soft but not too sticky, ready for resting.
  2. Rest the Dough: Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for about 1 hour at warm room temperature. This allows the dough to rise slightly and develop a tender crumb for fluffy beignets.
  3. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Maintain a steady temperature for even cooking and a golden-brown crust.
  4. Cut and Fry the Beignets: Lightly flour your working surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares or your preferred shapes. Carefully fry a few pieces at a time in the hot oil until puffed and golden on each side, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Dust and Serve: Generously dust the warm beignets with plant-based powdered sugar and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with fruit compote or a drizzle of maple syrup (natural) for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature to avoid soggy or burnt beignets.
  • Do not overmix the dough; stir until just combined for a light and airy texture.
  • Cut the dough evenly for uniform cooking and appearance.
  • Serve the beignets fresh for maximum fluffiness.
  • Use quality plant-based buttermilk for the best flavor and tenderness.
