  3. Beat egg white in a small bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold egg white into batter. Scoop batter into the prepared mold with a small-hinged ice cream scoop. Place the mold into the air fryer basket.

  4. Fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Remove mold from the basket carefully; pop beignets out and flip over onto a parchment paper round.

  5. Place parchment round with beignets back into the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 4 minutes. Remove beignets from the air fryer basket and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
