Light, pillowy gluten-free beignets that recreate the classic New Orleans-style texture without wheat, perfect for a weekend treat.

  • Total Time: 105 minutes
  • Yield: 12–16 beignets

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 cup warm milk (or milk alternative)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Mix the gluten-free flour blend, warm milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, yeast, and salt to form a dough.
  2. Knead briefly or mix until smooth.
  3. Let the dough rise in a warm area until slightly domed, about 45-75 minutes.
  4. Roll out to 1/4–1/2 inch thickness and cut into 2½–3 inch squares.
  5. Heat oil to 350–375°F (175–190°C).
  6. Fry in small batches until golden on each side.
  7. Drain on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar immediately.

Notes

For best results, use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. Pair with seasonal toppings like pumpkin pudding for fall flavors.
