So let’s clear the air first. No these are not your traditional New Orleans beignets. While doing some research I found that the beignets that we are typically accustomed to are made with yeast. This is a spin off from how the French make theirs. The original recipe for a pastry used in beignets is made with a pâte à choux, that relies on the water content of eggs to rise the dough.
I made mine with puff pastry. Puff pastry is made with layers and layers of butter and flour. Why because beignets ultimately are a deep fried pastry and I am in love with puff pastry. So theres that.
You guys went super wild for these puff pastry beignets and someone asked if you could air fryer them! That put me on a mission to find out!
