Ingredients

The following ingredients have 25 Servings
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • Oil for frying
  • Cinnamon and sugar for dusting

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg, butter, sugar and salt until smooth.
  • Slowly add the flour, baking powder and milk, stirring carefully with a wooden spoon, until you have a thick but cohesive batter.
  • In a large pot, heat several inches of vegetable oil to 360 degrees F.
  • Using two spoons, scoop some of the batter and scrape it off into the hot oil. Make sure to work in batches, frying about 5 to 6 beignets at a time, flipping them occasionally for even browning. They should take 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bolinhos from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain the excess oil.
  • While they are still hot, roll or dust with sugar and cinnamon.
  • Serve immediately!
