For best results, ensure your baking powder is fresh. This will help the beignets rise properly. If you don't have a silicone egg bite mold, you can use small ramekins or create free-form beignets on parchment paper, but be sure to watch the cooking time closely. Adjust the amount of confectioners' sugar to your liking. A generous dusting adds a touch of sweetness and elegance. These beignets are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat in the air fryer for a minute or two to restore their warmth and crispness.

01
StepPrepare the Mold: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (185°C). (5 minutes) Generously spray a 7-cavity silicone egg bite mold with nonstick cooking spray.
02
StepCombine the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons white sugar, water, egg yolk, melted butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
03
StepIncorporate Egg White: In a separate small bowl, beat the egg white with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg white into the batter.
04
StepFill the Mold: Scoop the batter into the prepared silicone mold using a small-hinged ice cream scoop. Place the mold into the air fryer basket.
05
StepFirst Fry: Fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the mold from the basket. Gently pop the beignets out and flip them over onto a round of parchment paper.
06
StepSecond Fry: Place the parchment paper round with the beignets back into the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 4 minutes.
07
