Beignets 🌯, a perfect treat for any time 💯

[beni]

I absolutely adore beignets! These warm, powdered sugar-covered pastries are a New Orleans classic. I perfected a simple and delicious recipe that pairs perfectly with a café au lait. You've got to try it! Let me share the recipe with you.

Ingredients

• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 7 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• ¼ cup shortening
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• ¼ cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Pour into a large bowl and stir in evaporated milk, white sugar, eggs, and salt. Add 4 cups flour and beat until smooth.
2. Mix in shortening. Mix in remaining 3 cups flour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
3. Roll dough out on floured surface to 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2-inch squares.
4. Heat oil in a deep pot to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
5. Fry beignets in batches until browned and puffed. (If beignets sink and do not pop up, oil is not hot enough.) Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Shake confectioners' sugar over hot beignets and serve immediately.

Don't miss out on these delicious beignets! They're so tasty and irresistible. Treat yourself to a sweet and delightful snack that will surely brighten up your day. Go ahead, indulge and savor every bite!
