Air Fryer Beignets
All it takes is 5 ingredients to make these chocolate-filled beignets that taste just like churros.
Ingredients
- Oil for greasing
- ¼ cup (60 mL) sugar
- 2 tsp (10 mL) cinnamon
- 1 pkg (16.3 oz/462 g) flaky biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- Flour for dusting
- 1 cup (250 mL) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, melted
- Optional: Chocolate sauce for drizzling
Directions
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, and set aside.
- Peel and divide each piece of biscuit in half to create 16 biscuits total.
- Set the Deluxe Air Fryer & Oven to Conv. Bake for 12 minutes.
- Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out each biscuit to a 4" (10-cm) round.
- Dip the Hand Pie & Pocket Maker in flour and place the dough on top. Fill one side of the dough with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of chocolate morsels, press to seal, then remove from the pocket maker. Repeat for each piece of dough.
- Spritz both Air Fryer Racks with oil. Divide the beignets evenly onto the racks. When the display says “Add Food,” place the racks in the oven. Press start. Rotate the racks halfway through cooking.
- Remove the beignets from the oven when READY and brush the top of each with melted butter. Dip the buttered side into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve the beignets warm with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if you’d like.
