Time 35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
½ cup evaporated milk
½ cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Add milk, sugar, egg, oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast. Vigorously beat in flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  • Divide dough into quarters. Place 1 portion on a heavily floured surface. Roll to about 1/8-inch thickness using a well floured rolling pin. Cut into 2-inch squares. Repeat with remaining 3 portions.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C). Fry beignets, a few at a time, until they puff and rise to the top, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

I've tried many beignet recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough is easy to work with and the beignets fry up beautifully.

I was disappointed with these beignets. They were too dense and not very flavorful.

These beignets were not good at all. The dough was too dense and the beignets were greasy.

I had some trouble getting the dough to rise properly, but other than that, these beignets were delicious.

These beignets were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good.
