Ingredients

1 cup milk

2 tbsp sugar

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 envelope dry yeast

2 tbsp lukewarm water

1 egg

2 tbsp vegetable oil

3 1/2 cups sifted flour

fat for deep frying

sifted confectioners sugar

Directions

Scald milk and dissolve it in the sugar and salt.

Add nutmeg.

Let milk cool to lukewarm and combine with softened yeast in

lukewarm water.

Stir in the egg and oil and thoroughly blend

in flour, a little at a time.

Cover the bowl lightly with a cloth and let dough rise in a

warm place until it has doubled in bulk, about 1½ hours.

Turn the dough out onto a wellfloured pastry board, deflate

it and knead it gently.

Roll it out into a rectangle 18" long and 12" wide and cut into 36 pieces, each 3" by 2".

Cover lightly with a towel and let beignets rise on the

pastry board for 30 minutes.

In a fryer or large saucepan, heat fat for deep frying to 375 degrees. Cook the beignets, a few at a time, until they are golden brown. Drain quickly.

Dust immediately with powdered sugar and serve at once while hot.

Enjoy!

Beignets, wow! I've never seen an actual recipe. My mom adores pastries - I'll have to make her some of these!

I've seen the Cafe Du Monde recipe for beignets, which calls for heavy cream. I like the idea of using milk instead of cream, and your addition of a grating of nutmeg. You've got to have these with Cafe Du Monde chicory coffee! Laissez les bons temps rouler!
