- Contains Dairy
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup water for steaming
- powdered sugar, as desired
- raspberry jam, as desired
- Large Bowl
- Whisk
Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and sugar until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine until a dough forms.
Step 2
Dust a work surface with additional flour, then flip the dough out onto the prepared surface and knead it until it becomes smooth and elastic, adding more flour as necessary.
Step 3
Shape the dough into a 4 x 5-inch rectangle that is about 1-inch thick, then cut into 4 equal squares. Dust each square with flour until no longer sticky.
Step 4
Spray the Cook & Crisp basket with nonstick cooking spray, then place the basket in the pot. Place the dough squares in the basket. Spray the dough all over with cooking spray.
Step 5
Pour 1/2 cup water in the pot. Close the lid and move the slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 325°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 5 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).
Step 6
When cooking is complete, the beignets should be lightly golden brown and puffed.
Step 7
Remove basket from pot. Transfer the beignets to a serving plate and immediately dust with powdered sugar. Serve with raspberry jam for dipping.
