Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (vegan-certified)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying, about 4 cups or enough for 2-inch depth)

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. In a separate container, combine the plant-based buttermilk and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Maintaining this temperature ensures a crispy crust without excess oil absorption.
  3. Shape and Fry the Beignets: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into squares or rounds using a cookie cutter. Carefully drop pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  4. Make the Glaze: While the beignets are cooling slightly, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, apple cider vinegar (natural), a splash of vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until it thickens to a smooth, shiny consistency.
  5. Glaze and Serve: Dip each warm beignet in the glaze or drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving, enjoying the irresistible glossy finish.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to maintain consistent frying heat for even cooking.
  • Mix the dough just until combined to keep beignets tender and light.
  • Use fresh baking powder and plant-based buttermilk for the best rise and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent carefully to achieve the perfect shiny coating without stickiness.
  • Serve beignets warm for the best taste and texture with a soft glaze.
