Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup white sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup warm water
2 tbsp yeast
2 tbsp white sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, soft
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs , large
1 egg yolk , from large egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the warm water, yeast and 1 teaspoons of the sugar. Set in a warm place for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, remaining white sugar and the cinnamon. Add the eggs and yolk one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. Beat in the yeast mixture, salt and flour until smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours. Punch down the dough in the bowl, cover again and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
Heat the oil to 325 F (160 C). Meanwhile, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press to a 1 thickness. Using a 2 cookie cutter dipped into flour, stamp out the beignets. Press scraps together and pat into a 1 thickness. Cut out the remaining beignets.
Fry beignets, 4 at a time, turning occasionally until they're evenly browned (about 5 mins). With the slotted spoon, carefully scoop them out and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Roll the beignets in the Cinnamon Sugar while they're still warm.
Note: Also good rolling them in powdered/confectioners sugar.
