Directions:
- In a large bowl, such as a mixer bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla, and blend well. Mix in 4 cups of the flour and beat until smooth. Add the shortening, and then the remaining 3 cups of flour. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours.
- **I make the dough the night before and just cook them up in the morning to go with coffee.**
- Roll out dough 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2 inch squares. Fry in 360 degree F. hot oil. If beignets do not pop up, oil is not hot enough. I fry for about 45 seconds to 1 minute per side. I use a chop stick to flip them over in the oil.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Use a paper bag and put confectioners sugar inside. Shake the hot beignets and serve warm. . .very tastey!
