Beignets Recipe

Beignets

From canadiangirlrox 16 years ago

When my Mom lived in New Orleans I couldn't wait to go to Cafe" DuMonde every morning for these & hot chocolate!

combine yeast, water, & sugar-let proof( become frothy) -if you are using yeast fron the fridge you must let it get to room temp.
mix ,eggs, milk ,salt , butter and proofed yeast
add first 4 c flour
mix
add rest of flour
mix
cover the dough & let sit overnight in the fridge
punch it down
roll it out onto a floured surface
cut into 4" x 4" squares
fry
lay on rack to drain
sift powdered sugar over beignets while still hot
ENJOY!

Hi fellow Canadian girl!
I have never made doughnuts before, but these beignets sound really good. Question, do you need to heat any of the ingredients other than the water for mixing the yeast into? Hope to try these soon. Thanks
Betty
