Hi Gloria – I’m sorry that you don’t have these products available in Ontario. My flour is a blend of a special tapioca starch, whole grain corn flour, corn starch, potato starch, fine white rice flour and xanthan gum. Earth Balance shortening is vegan and made from a non-hydrogenated blend of oils with no transfats.

so what does jules gluten free flour contain and what is earth balance shortening- I live in central Ontario and these products are not available here-please stop specifying products as too many of us live in the wilderness and do not have access to many product lines- thank you g

Glad they were still yummy, but your hunch might be correct about the mixer. They should be very light, in addition to tasting delicious!

I made these today, and they looked the same as yours, but were a lot more dense than I was expecting. I suspect it’s because I used my hand mixer instead of my Kitchen Aid, and the ol’ girl just wasn’t up to the job! I’ve never had an actual beignet, so I don’t have a basis for comparison. Next time I’m going to use the stand mixer and see if they’re any lighter. Yummy, nonetheless!

Hi Tracey, yes you can, but let them rise much longer with the regular active yeast. Enjoy the recipe!

Can I use Active Dry Yeast instead? I don’t have any rapid rise yeast in the house? Thanks!

Hi Chelsea, Beignets are made to be fried, unfortunately. But for sure let us know if you try a different way and have success! If your oil is the right temp, the Beignets shouldn’t absorb too much oil. Enjoy!
