Fried Croissant Beignets – Easy and Delicious recipe

Fried-Croissant-Beignets

Ingredients

For the Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm milk

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

For the Filling:

1/2 cup Nutella or any chocolate hazelnut spread

For Frying:

Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Coating:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

In a separate bowl, combine warm milk, water, butter, vanilla, and egg. Stir until well combined.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Beignets:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Cut the dough into squares or strips. Add a small spoonful of Nutella in the center of each square and fold it to seal, creating little pockets.

Fry the Beignets:

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the beignets in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on all sides.

Remove the beignets from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Coat the Beignets:

Mix powdered sugar and granulated sugar together in a bowl.

While the beignets are still warm, roll them in the sugar mixture to coat evenly.

Serve:

Serve these Fried Croissant Beignets hot and enjoy the oozy chocolate Nutella center! They’re perfect with a cup of coffee or as a special dessert! ☕🍩
