Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (plant-based)

Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 inches deep)

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/8 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Slowly stir in the buttermilk (plant-based) until a soft dough forms. The dough should be just sticky enough to handle but not too wet.
  2. Roll and Cut: Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Use a square cutter or knife to cut the dough into 2-inch squares to ensure even frying and uniform size.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) to achieve a golden and crisp exterior while cooking the inside thoroughly.
  4. Fry the Beignets: Carefully drop a few dough squares into the hot oil, frying each side for 2-3 minutes until puffed and lightly golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Prepare the Sweet Natural Glaze: While frying, whisk together powdered sugar, grape juice (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and glossy. The glaze should be pourable but thick enough to coat the beignets beautifully.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Dip warm beignets directly into the glaze or drizzle it generously on top using a spoon. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use fresh buttermilk (plant-based) and natural extracts to enhance flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan to keep oil temperature consistent and prevent sticking.
  • Apply glaze while beignets are warm to help it stick and soak in for extra flavor.
  • Roll dough to about 1/4 inch thickness to avoid tough beignets.
