Ingredients
Scale
Beignets
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 3–5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a perfectly golden crust.
- Prepare Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch round using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Add Filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each dough round, making sure not to overfill.
- Seal Beignets: Fold the dough over the Nutella to form a ball or half-moon shape, and pinch the edges tightly to seal completely to prevent leakage during cooking.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry: Place the beignets in the basket with space between each. Air fry in batches at 350°F for 6–8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish: Immediately after cooking, brush the hot beignets with melted butter and dust them generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve: Serve the beignets warm to enjoy the gooey Nutella center at its best.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with melted chocolate or serve with fresh strawberries.
- Ensure edges are sealed well to prevent Nutella from leaking during cooking.
- Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small to avoid overcrowding.
- Serve immediately as beignets are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
