Beignets
Slightly sweet and crispy, pillow-like pastry, deep fried and dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce can evaporated milk
- 1/2 teaspoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 Large egg beaten, at room temperature
- 4 fl. ounces butter melted
- 4 cups (550g) flour, additional for dusting surfaces
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- In a deep fryer or saucepan, preheat the oil to 375 degrees.
- On a well-floured surface, roll the dough ball to form a rectangle, 1/8” in thickness. Cut into 1×2” pieces and use a bench scraper to transfer them to the frying oil. Once browned on one side, turn them over and brown the other side. Remove from oil and transfer to a wire cooling rack to drain off excess oil.
- Serve warm, dusted generously with powdered sugar.
