Air Fryer Beignets
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray (1 pinch)
- all-purpose flour (0.5 cup)
- white sugar (0.25 cup)
- white sugar (2 tablespoons)
- water (2 tablespoons)
- large egg, separated, divided (1 large)
- melted butter (1.5 teaspoons)
- baking powder (0.5 teaspoon)
- vanilla extract (0.5 teaspoon)
- salt (1 pinch)
- confectioners' sugar, or to taste (2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
