Ingredients

Preparation Method

1. Prepare your workspace and gather ingredients including a large mixing bowl.
2. In the bowl, combine salt, sugar, and eggs. Whisk until creamy.

4. Incorporate softened unsalted butter in small pieces, mixing until smooth.
5. Add plain yogurt and stir until well combined.
6. Add remaining flour mixed with baking powder, stirring to form a thick batter.
7. Mix in vanilla sugar and lime zest with a whisk until evenly combined.
8. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
9. Form small balls of dough using your hands or a cookie scoop.
10. Fry the dough balls in hot oil, avoiding overcrowding, until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
11. Remove beignets and drain on paper towels.
12. Roll in a mixture of sugar and vanilla sugar for a sweet finish.

Tips and Conclusion

For an exciting twist, feel free to incorporate flavors into your beignets! Some ideas include adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the flour mixture, or even some chocolate chips or small pieces of fruit for added sweetness and texture.

Additionally, if you have leftovers (though they're hard to resist), store your beignets in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Alternatively, you could freeze them for a later treat. Simply let them cool fully, then place in a freezer bag. When you’re craving something sweet, pop them into the oven to warm up, and they’ll taste just as delightful.
