Beignets
In a large bowl place beignet mix.
In another large bowl, combine egg yolks, ¼ cup water, melted butter, and vanilla and stir to combine. Fold into dry ingredients (beignet mix) until just combined.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, then fold into batter.
In a large pot, heat oil to 375º. Drop small spoonfuls of batter into hot oil and fry until golden, about 5 minutes. (You want to keep the oil at 375º to make sure they cook all the way through.) Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
