Easy Fried Beignets

Steps

• 1

  Add oil to a large pot. Heat on medium heat and bring to a simmer.
• 2

  Begin beignets by sprinkling counter surface with flour. Open Pillsbury™ Grands!™ biscuits and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Take a knife and cut 1-inch strips horizontally, and then vertically until you have 1-inch squares. You can also cut out in shapes using a small cookie cutter.
• 3

  Carefully drop dough pieces into the hot oil. Cook them thoroughly until deep brown to ensure they are cooked in the center. Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto paper towels to soak up excess oil.
• 4

  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
