🛒 Ingredients

  • 3 cups (380 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (7 g) salt
  • 1/4 cup (45 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 packet (7 g) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup warm water (or milk)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast
    In a small bowl, mix the warm water (or milk) with the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

  2. Prepare the Dough
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and powdered sugar. Add the yogurt, egg, softened butter, and the activated yeast mixture.

  3. Knead the Dough
    Mix everything together until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  4. First Rise
    Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

  5. Shape the Beignets
    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1 cm thickness. Cut into small squares or circles.

  6. Second Rise
    Let the shaped dough rest for another 20–30 minutes.

  7. Fry the Beignets
    Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the beignets for about 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  8. Finish and Serve
    Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
