Directions

Peanut Butter & Jam Beignets

12 Steps

  • Step 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir until the sugar and yeast have dissolved, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

  • Step 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Add this to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

  • Step 3

    Add in 2 cups of flour and the salt, and mix until the flour is fully incorporated. Add in the butter and mix again.

  • Step 4

    Gradually add in the remaining flour until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

  • Step 5

    Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  • Step 6

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

  • Step 7

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares or circles, about 3-4 inches in diameter.

  • Step 8

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer until it reaches 375°F.

  • Step 9

    Fry the beignets in batches, flipping them over once, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Step 10

    Remove the beignets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.

  • Step 11

    Use piping bags and fill each beignets with peanut butter and jam.

  • Step 12

    Dust the beignets with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
