2. Ingredients for Disney Tiana’s Man-Catching Beignets
What you’ll need to make these irresistible beignets
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Disney Tiana’s Man-Catching Beignets
Preparing the dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. You can also use the Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master to help with prep efficiency.
Frying the beignets
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for precise temperature control.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove the beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Finishing touches
Once cooled slightly, dust your Disney Tiana’s Man-Catching Beignets generously with powdered sugar. For an extra decadent treat, drizzle with honey or cinnamon-sugar. These beignets are best enjoyed warm and fresh for the most authentic experience.
4. Storage Tips for Beignets
If you have leftovers, store the beignets in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. To re-crisp, reheat in a hot air fryer like the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 for that fresh-fried texture. Avoid storing in the fridge, as this tends to make the beignets soggy.
5. Serving Suggestions for Disney Princess Beignets
Pageantry aside, beignets are perfect when paired with a cup of chicory coffee or hot milk. You can also serve them alongside seasonal fresh berries or a side of graveyard dirt pudding for themed dessert platters. To make your presentation even more enchanting, consider serving in a decorative basket lined with parchment paper.

7. FAQs about Disney Tiana’s Man-Catching Beignets
Are beignets difficult to make at home?
Not at all! With simple ingredients and step-by-step guidance, you can achieve authentic-tasting beignets right in your own kitchen, especially if you use a reliable Portable Rapid Ice Maker for quick cooling.
Can I make beignets gluten-free?
Yes, using gluten-free flour blends as a substitute for all-purpose flour can make your beignets suitable for gluten-free diets. Adjust the recipe as necessary for optimal texture.
How do I prevent the beignets from being greasy?
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (around 350°F). Frying at too low a temperature causes absorption of excess oil, resulting in greasiness. Also, drain the beignets on paper towels after frying.
