Categories     Side     Fry

Yield about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
7 tablespoons unsalted butter or pareve margarine, at room temperature
Vegetable oil for frying
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Stir in the flour, eggs, salt, granulated sugar, and the butter or margarine, and knead until you have the consistency of a smooth dough. Turn it out, clean and grease the bowl, and put dough back in. Allow dough to rest, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until doubled in volume. Punch down, and knead again.
  • Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into roughly equal 2-inch triangles or rectangles. Allow to rise for 45 minutes.
  • Heat about 2 inches of the oil to 375 degrees in a deep pan or a wok. Lower three or four pieces of the dough at a time into the hot oil, and fry until they are golden on both sides. Extract them with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.

I'm not sure what happened, but my beignets turned out really flat. I'm not sure if I didn't let the dough rise long enough or if I didn't fry them at the right temperature.

These beignets were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I might have used too much oil when frying them.

I'm not a big fan of fried food, but these beignets were an exception. They were light and fluffy, and the powdered sugar coating was the perfect finishing touch.

These beignets were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beignets turned out really dense and heavy. They were still edible, but not as good as I was hoping.

These beignets were a bit dense and heavy for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I've tried many beignet recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the beignets turned out perfectly golden brown. They were a hit with my family and friends!

These beignets were absolutely delicious! They were light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior and a soft, pillowy interior. The flavor was perfect, with just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again!
