1 tbsp of flour at a time if it’s too sticky to handle, or1 tbsp of milk at a time if it is crumbly. - Knead the dough on medium speed for 3-4 Minutes until smooth. Place in a clean mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise in a warm place for two hours or until doubled in size.
- Lightly flour the work surface and roll dough to a
½ inch thick square. - Cut the dough into equal
2x2 inch squares. - Preheat on the Air Fry function. Place beignets in a single layer, careful not to overlap. Spray with vegetable oil spray.
- Air Fry at 330°F for 9-11 Minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl add the powdered sugar. When the beignets are done, immediately toss in the powdered sugar bowl.
