Taken from : Basic Beignet recipe, great as is but easily altered for variety. Different flour, sugar, nuts, fruit, and icings can really change this one up. Ingredients:
2 tbs butter, softened |
1 egg, beaten |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 cup water, warm |
1/2 cup evaporated milk |
4 cups flour |
3 tsp active instant yeast |
oil, as needed |
confectioner's sugar or icing, as desired |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, add everything except oil & powdered sugar/icing.
2. Mix with dough hooks until blended smoothly.
3. Tightly cover (suggest plastic wrap) and refrigerate overnight (minimum 4 hours).
4. Roll into 1/2 thickness and cut into desired shapes. Try to stay about 2-3 per side.
5. Deep fry at 360 Fahrenheit (use a candy or infrared thermometer, or a little below medium for most dials). Test by dropping a tiny ball of dough in, it should rise to the top within 10 seconds.
6. Add about 3 at a time, for about 60-90 seconds each side. Color should be golden-brown.
7. Drain on paper towel and dust with powdered sugar or ice, serve hot.
8. Keep excess dough refrigerated, good for about a week (remember the raw egg).
