Dairy-Free Beignets with Chicory Coffee Glaze

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Dairy-free milk (warmed)
• 1/4 cup Vegan Butter (melted)
• 2 large eggs Egg replacer (prepared)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1/2 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 1/4 cup Strong brewed chicory coffee

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. 2In a separate bowl, whisk together dairy-free milk, melted vegan butter, egg replacer, and vanilla extract.
3. 3Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. 4Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
5. 5Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares.
6. 6Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
7. 7Carefully drop beignet squares into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
8. 8Remove beignets and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. 9Whisk powdered sugar with chicory coffee to make glaze.
10. 10Dust beignets with powdered sugar and drizzle with chicory coffee glaze. Serve immediately.
