*Makes approximately 14-16

Ingredients

3 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup water

1 egg, beaten

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vegetable oil, for frying

Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 3/4 cups of flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
2. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, water, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.
3. Dust a surface with the remaining flour, place the dough on the floured surface and roll the dough to make an even 1/2-inch-thick square/rectangle. Dust with more flour as needed, then cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares.
4. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy saucepan until it reaches a temperature of 325ºF. Carefully drop 3 or 4 dough squares into the hot oil at a time frying for 3 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beignets to a wire rack set above paper towels to dry the beignets. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar and enjoy!
