Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 2

In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract, whole milk, and melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until the mixture forms a smooth batter.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or large pot over medium heat. The oil should reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the beignets in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they puff up and become golden brown.

Step 7

Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets from the oil and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

While warm, generously dust the mini beignets with powdered sugar.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Mini Beignets while they're fresh and warm.
