Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (natural gelling agent)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons grape juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), and granulated sugar. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk (plant-based), apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the melted plant-based butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring gently until a soft dough forms without overmixing.
  2. Roll and Cut: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a sharp knife or a square cutter, cut the dough into uniform squares sized for frying.
  3. Heat and Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the dough squares in batches, turning occasionally, until they puff up and are golden brown on all sides. Remove them using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, grape juice (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and slightly runny. Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar or grape juice as needed.
  5. Glaze the Beignets: Dip each warm beignet into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a wire rack to set briefly before serving. The glaze will form a shiny, sweet coating that perfectly complements the light dough.

Notes

  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to ensure crispy, golden beignets without excess oil absorption.
  • Mix dough just until combined to keep beignets airy and tender.
  • Use fresh buttermilk (plant-based) and natural extracts for best flavor.
  • Drain fried beignets well on paper towels to avoid sogginess.
  • Apply glaze while beignets are warm for best adhesion and shine.
