Ingredient Notes:

• Mimi Foods Gluten-Free Pizza Dough: Mimi Foods pre-rolled gluten-free pizza dough provides a convenient base for making fluffy beignets. By adding a tablespoon of vegan butter and folding the dough, you'll achieve a delightful texture. However, if you prefer to use a different gluten-free pizza dough, ensure it is pre-rolled and follow the same steps.

• Vegan Butter: The melted vegan butter adds a rich and buttery flavor to the dough, creating a luscious texture in the beignets. Choose a dairy-free vegan butter substitute that is suitable for cooking and baking.

• Vegetable Oil for Frying: Select a neutral-flavoured vegetable oil with a high smoke point, such as canola, for frying the beignets. Make sure there is enough oil in the pan or deep-fryer to fully submerge the beignets while frying.

• Powdered Sugar: Dusting the beignets with powdered sugar provides a sweet and delicate finishing touch. Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your preference, ensuring each beignet is covered with a generous amount.

• Honey: While optional, drizzling honey over the beignets adds

INGREDIENTS

• 1 package of pre-rolled Mimi Foods gluten-free pizza dough (2 doughs)
• 1 tablespoon of vegan butter
• Caputo gluten-free flour
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Honey, for drizzling (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start with the pre-rolled Mimi Foods gluten-free pizza dough. To make it even fluffier, add 1 tbsp of room temperature vegan butter add it to one side of the dough. 
2. Fold the dough in half and then fold it in half again, creating layers of buttery goodness. This step will enhance the texture and flavour of the beignets.
3. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, ensuring it is about 1/4-inch thick. As you're rolling out the dough with a rolling pin, you may have sections that are sticky because of the vegan butter. Have some gluten-free flour handy so that you can add a sprinkle or two and then continue integrating the butter into the dough. The flour will stop the dough from sticking to your surface and rolling pin.
4. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into six equal sections, creating individual pieces for frying.
5. In a deep saucepan or a deep-fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully drop each piece of dough into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the beignets for approximately 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and puffed up.
7. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the cooked beignets to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing them to drain excess oil.
8. Once all the beignets are fried, drizzle them with honey for an added touch of sweetness.
9. Generously sprinkle powdered sugar over the beignets, ensuring they are fully coated with the delightful sweetness.
10. Serve the warm and fluffy gluten and dairy free beignets, savoring each heavenly bite. Experience the joy of the crispy exterior, doughy interior, and the perfect balance of honey and powdered sugar.
