Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Allow the sheet of puff pastry to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes to make it easier to unfold and cut.
- Unfold Pastry: Gently unfold the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface without tearing.
- Cut Strips: Cut 2 horizontal strips along the natural creases of the pastry sheet.
- Cut Vertical Strips: Cut 3 vertical strips perpendicular to the horizontal ones, resulting in 9 equal squares.
- Arrange for Air Frying: Place 4 squares on the air fryer crisper tray or as many as you can fit comfortably in the basket without overlapping.
- Air Fry Beignets: Air fry the puff pastry squares at 400°F (204°C) for 9 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Repeat Cooking: Repeat the air frying process with the remaining squares until all are cooked.
- Coat in Powdered Sugar: Place the 3 cups of powdered sugar into a large zip-top bag. Add the warm beignets to the bag and shake gently until they are completely coated with powdered sugar.
- Serve: Remove beignets from the bag and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. ENJOY your homemade air fryer beignets!
Notes
- Make sure to let the puff pastry thaw completely for easier handling.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- For extra flavor, you may sprinkle cinnamon or add vanilla extract to the powdered sugar coating.
- Serve the beignets warm for the best taste and texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day; reheat briefly in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
