How to cook deliciously - Air Fryer Beignets

1 . Stage

Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C). Spray a 7-cavity silicone egg bite mold with nonstick spray.

Whisk flour, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar, water, egg yolk, melted butter, baking powder, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined.

3 . Stage

Beat egg white in a small bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold egg white into batter. Scoop batter into the prepared mold with a small-hinged ice cream scoop. Place the mold into the air fryer basket.

4 . Stage

Fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Remove mold from the basket carefully; pop beignets out and flip over onto a parchment paper round.

Place parchment round with beignets back into the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 4 minutes. Remove beignets from the air fryer basket and dust with confectioners' sugar. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
