Grandma's Baked Beignets
There are primarily two methods—baking and frying—that can be used to make beignets at home: the first method is the baking method, and the second method is the frying method. Baking beignets are the best option for people who want a version that is higher in sugar content and contains less grease than the traditional version of beignets. Beignets that have been baked come out airy and light, and they have a subtle sweetness that makes them suitable for either breakfast or dessert. Fried beignets, despite the fact that they are undeniably delicious, can be on the hefty and greasy side, which is something that many people try to avoid doing because of the potential negative health effects. In addition, frying can make the kitchen extremely messy, which can be difficult to clean up after. If you're looking for a method of preparation that takes less time than frying beignets, baking is the option you should go with. Beignets baked in the oven come out light and airy. Beignets that are produced by the oven come out perfectly baked and are sure to be enjoyed by everyone. The oven does an excellent job producing these beignets. Because of the way they are prepared, these beignets are sure to win the favor and affection of the people who try them.

- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
