Easy Mickey Shaped Beignets Recipe

There’s something truly magical about warm, fluffy beignets—especially when they’re shaped like Mickey Mouse! These soft, pillowy pastries are lightly fried and dusted with powdered sugar, just like the ones at the parks. But guess what? They’re super easy to make at home with just a few basic ingredients. 

Whether you’re planning a Disney movie night, brunch with friends, or just want to surprise your family with a little extra magic, this Mickey Shaped Beignets Recipe brings the joy of the parks right to your kitchen.


✨ Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup evaporated milk

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

✨ You Will Also Need

  • A Mickey-shaped cookie cutter (or create a template!)

  • Rolling pin

  • Slotted spoon or tongs

  • Paper towels for draining

✨ Directions

  • Activate the yeast:
    In a small bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

  • Mix the dough:
    In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture, egg, milk, and melted butter. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

  • Knead & rise:
    Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.

  • Roll & cut:
    Punch down the dough and roll out to about ¼-inch thick. Use your Mickey-shaped cutter to make your beignets!

  • Fry the magic:
    Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350°F. Carefully drop in 2–3 beignets at a time and fry for about 1 minute per side or until golden brown.

  • Drain & dust:
    Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.

  • Enjoy warm and fluffy!
    Serve immediately and watch the smiles appear. ✨

🧺 Tips & Shortcuts

  • Don’t have a Mickey cutter? Make your own template with parchment paper and a knife.

  • For extra fun, drizzle with chocolate sauce or dip in strawberry jam.

  • Beignets are best eaten fresh, but you can freeze the dough and fry later!

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Yes! After the dough rises, cover and refrigerate overnight. Roll and fry the next day.

Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Beignets are traditionally fried for that puffy texture, but you can try baking at 375°F for 10–12 minutes—just note the texture will be a little different.

Q: How long do leftovers last?
A: Beignets are best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave or air fryer.
