Notes

Achieving the easy vanilla beignets with powdered sugar status requires a few insider secrets. First, always check your yeast freshness. If it doesn't foam, your beignets won't puff. Second, maintain your oil temperature. If the oil is too cold, the dough absorbs it and becomes greasy. If it is too hot, the outside burns before the inside cooks.
