Ingredients
½cupwhole milk, warmed (100-110°F)
1(.25 ounce) envelopeactive dry yeast
6tablespoonsgranulated sugar, divided
2 ½cupsall-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
½teaspoonsalt
1large egg
1large egg yolk
1teaspoonvanilla extract
6tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted, divided
Cooking spray
½cupconfectioners' sugar
DirectionsCombine milk, yeast and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a measuring cup. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add flour, salt and the remaining 5 tablespoons granulated sugar. Beat on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Whisk egg, egg yolk, vanilla and 4 tablespoons melted butter together in a measuring cup or small bowl until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until the dough forms a loose ball around the hook and is smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead, adding a little more flour, if needed, until it forms a smooth ball. Transfer to a lightly greased large bowl. Cover loosely and let rise in a warm draft-free place (80-85°F) until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into a 10-inch square; cut into 20 rectangles. Cover lightly with a kitchen towel and let stand for 15 minutes.Preheat air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray. Add 4 to 6 dough pieces to the basket, placing them 1/2 inch apart. Coat the dough pieces lightly with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the beignets over, coat with cooking spray and cook until the other side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Brush the beignets with some of the remaining melted butter. Transfer to a serving platter and immediately dust with confectioners' sugar. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.TipsEquipment:Stand mixer; air fryerOriginally appeared: EatingWell.com, December 2020

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
