These beignets are a fun and delicious twist on the traditional New Orleans treat. The addition of buttermilk gives them a tangy, creamy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet raspberry and chocolate dipping sauces. They are perfect for a party or as a special treat for your family. The beignets are also a great way to use up any leftover buttermilk you may have from another recipe. They are light and airy with a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. The dipping sauces add a touch of elegance and make them even more irresistible. The raspberry sauce is sweet and tangy, while the chocolate sauce is rich and decadent. Together, they create a perfect balance of flavors that will leave you wanting more. These beignets are also a fun project to make with kids, who will love helping to shape the dough and watching them fry up into golden, puffy treats. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to create a delicious and memorable treat that your family and friends will love!

  • 0.8 cup milk 1%
  • 0.3 cup powdered sugar 
  • 0.5 cup raspberries frozen
  • teaspoons raspberry jam 
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • ounces bittersweet chocolate 
  • 2.5 tablespoons sugar

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • paper towels
  • sauce pan
  • knife
  • whisk
  • blender
  • spatula
  • rolling pin
  • dutch oven

Directions

  1. Raspberry Sauce:In a saucepan, add the frozen raspberries and powdered sugar.Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes.Gently mash the raspberries with the back of a spatula while they cook.After 4 minutes, remove from heat and add the raspberry jam. You could puree this mixture before serving, but I prefer it chunky.Chocolate Sauce:In a saucepan, add the chocolate chips and cream.Allow the chocolate chips to melt, stirring occasionally.
  2. Heat the 1% milk in a saucepan.Once it starts to simmer, remove pan from heat and add the buttermilk.
  3. Pour milk into a standing mixer.To the milk, whisk in the yeast and sugar.
  4. Let sit until foamy, approximately 5 minutes.In a separate bowl, mix the flours, baking soda and salt.Turn the mixer on low speed and slowly add the flour mixture until just incorporated and dough is in the shape of a ball and is slightly sticky.Cover the standing mixer bowl with saran wrap and let sit in a warm, draft-free location for about an hour.After an hour, lightly flour your work surface and pour out your dough.Using as little flour as possible, fold the dough over in half and tuck in the edges to make a ball.Flatten the ball and with a floured rolling pin.
  5. Roll the ball out into a circle until the circle is about an inch thick.Using a knife or other sharp object cut the dough into any shape you want. I find that cutting the dough into long and thick logs makes the beignets good for dipping.
  6. Let sit for a few minutes.In the meantime, pour canola oil into a Dutch oven until the oil is about 2-3 inches deep.
  7. Heat oil to 375 degrees.Once oil is hot, drop in the dough 4-5 at a time and turn frequently.Allow to fry for 2-3 minutes, or until a lovely golden dark brown.
  8. Transfer the beignets to a drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  9. Add some powdered sugar to the brown paper bag and drop in 3-4 beignets.Close the bag and shake until the beignets are completely covered in powdered sugar.
  10. Serve warm with the dipping sauces.
