Zubereitung von New Orleans Style Beignet Recipe
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Using a 2-3 inch biscuit cutter or a sharp knife, cut out beignets. (You can use a glass too!)
- Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully place beignets in the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Use tongs to flip.
- Remove beignets from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Immediately dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Serve warm and enjoy! These are best served immediately.
