Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) rapid-rise yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm whole milk (about 110°F)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for generous dusting

Instructions

  • Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, whisk the warm milk and yeast together. Let it sit for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate, larger bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture and whisk until combined.
  • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add your gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  • First Rise: Lightly oil a clean bowl, place your dough ball in it, and turn it over to coat. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm, draft-free spot for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the Oil: Pour about 2 inches of oil into a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat it over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  • Shape the Beignets: Turn your risen dough out onto a surface dusted with gluten-free flour. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
  • Fry to Golden Perfection: Carefully lower a few dough squares into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, until puffed and golden brown. Transfer them to a wire rack to drain.
  • Dust and Devour: Let them cool for a minute, then generously dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
