Time 3h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, evaporated milk, and blend well. Mix in 4 cups of the flour and beat until smooth. Add the shortening, and then the remaining 3 cups of flour. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours.
  • Roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2 inch squares. Fry in 360 degree F (180 degrees C) hot oil. If beignets do not pop up, oil is not hot enough. Drain onto paper towels.
  • Shake confectioners' sugar on hot beignets. Serve warm.
