What Are Beignets?

Beignets are really just a fritter. They are really popular in New Orleans, where my husband recently had a trip and brought the kids and me some. They were amazing.

Air Fryer Beignets are light, airy, and traditionally served with a dusting of powdered sugar. So, today, I made an air fryer version of them. Using my egg bite mold.

Beignet is a fritter that is usually deep-fried. When you think about what they are you will probably picture a square piece of dough, deep-fried and then covered with confectionery sugar.

Ingredients used In Air Fryer Beignets

All-Purpose Flour
Granulated Sugar
Water
Baking Powder
Vanilla Extract
Egg
Unsalted Butter
Optional: Powder Sugar for Dusting and serving

In a small mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, water, egg, butter, baking powder, and vanilla extract.

Spray your egg bite mold, generously with olive oil, being sure to get the sides.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan (about 2/3 way full)

Set the temperature to 370 degrees F, (air fryer setting) for 5 minutes, then put your egg bite mold in. (This is to preheat your air fryer, these do much better when the air fryer is preheated)

How Do You Store Leftover Air Fryer Beignets?

If you have any leftover beignets, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them in an airtight container.

They will best if eaten within a day or two. Either place them on the counter or place in the refrigerator.

What Does A Beignet Taste Like?

They taste almost like a donut. They are light and fluffy, and are best served warm. When you serve them with a powdered sugar dusting they are a sweet treat.

They make an excellent treat.
