How to Make Cinnamon And Sugar Beignets

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar until the yeast is dissolved.
  2. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. 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.
  7. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-12 equal pieces.
  8. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  9. Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Carefully fry the beignets in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove the beignets from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  12. While still warm, toss the beignets in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
