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
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.
