How to Make Beignets For Ze Lay Zay Lazy

Heat about 1 inch of oil (vegetable or canola) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of biscuit dropped in sizzles immediately.
Open a can of refrigerated biscuits (8 count). Cut each biscuit in half. Make a 1-inch slit in the center of each half to create a beignet shape.
Carefully place about 6 biscuit halves in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, turning frequently, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the beignets from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Transfer the beignets to a serving plate and generously dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Optional: Serve with a side of chocolate sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
