How to Make Beignets

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the melted butter and the egg.
  5. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Heat about 3 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Gently drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
  8. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove the beignets from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  10. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately. Enjoy!
