Cinnamon and Sugar Beignets image

I found this recipe in "Out to Brunch - At Mildred Pierce Restaurant" Beignets are a french doughnut without the holes. These are best served while still warm.

Time 5h25m

Yield 12 beignets, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup warm water
2 tablespoons yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, soft
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 eggs, large
1 egg yolk, from large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the warm water, yeast and 1 teaspoons of the sugar. Set in a warm place for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, remaining white sugar and the cinnamon. Add the eggs and yolk one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. Beat in the yeast mixture, salt and flour until smooth.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours. Punch down the dough in the bowl, cover again and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  • Heat the oil to 325 F (160 C). Meanwhile, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press to a 1" thickness. Using a 2" cookie cutter dipped into flour, stamp out the beignets. Press scraps together and pat into a 1" thickness. Cut out the remaining beignets.
  • Fry beignets, 4 at a time, turning occasionally until they're evenly browned (about 5 mins). With the slotted spoon, carefully scoop them out and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Roll the beignets in the Cinnamon Sugar while they're still warm.
  • Note: Also good rolling them in powdered/confectioners sugar.

These beignets were a bit of a disappointment. The dough was too dense, and the cinnamon and sugar coating was too thick. I won't be making these again.

I've tried many beignet recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough is so easy to work with, and the beignets turn out perfectly golden brown and delicious.
