Ingredients

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon yeast

1/4 cup shortening

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup boiling water

1 cup evaporated milk

2 eggs, beaten

7 1/2 cups flour

1 quart vegetable oil for frying

1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

Pour 1/2 cup room temperature water into a small bowl.

Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand for 10 minutes to dissolve.

Combine shortening, sugar and salt in a large bowl.

Pour the boiling water over the shortening and stir in evaporated milk.

Wait for mixture to cool to lukewarm.

Add the yeast/water mixture and the beaten eggs.

Slowly mix in the flour until dough forms a ball.

Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Working with a small portion (a little larger than a baseball) at a time, roll out dough to 1/8" thickness.

Cut rolled dough into strips 2 to 3" wide, then cut again in the opposite direction (and at an angle) making diamond shapes.

Heat oil for frying in a deep and wide, heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Slide dough slowly into the oil to avoid splattering.

Deep fry until they puff up and are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Carefully remove to a rack with paper towels under it.

Allow to cool until you can handle them.

Place in a clean paper bag with confectioners' sugar and shake gently until covered generously OR use a sifter to dust beignets with sugar.

I had beignets once, and I was hooked at first bite - delicious little things, and irresistable. Your recipe sounds easy enough - the difficult part is not eating each and every one of them myself...it would be worth the stomach ache!!
