Report
These beignets are made from a yeast dough enriched with butter and sugar, then fried to golden perfection. They're pillowy soft and will melt in your mouth!

Ingredients
- 1 cup lukewarm water about 110F
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk about 110F
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- oil for frying
- powdered sugar for coating, optional
Instructions
- Pour the warm water into a large bowl, then whisk in the yeast and sugar. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes until it begins to foam.
- Add in the eggs, salt, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Mix in the flour gradually with a spatula or on low speed with the Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Once the flour is all mixed in, add the softened butter.
- Knead the dough until it is elastic, for at least 10 minutes. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Roll out the dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into small squares, about two inches by two inches in size.
- Preheat a deep frying pan with about four inches of oil until it reaches 350°F.
- Working in batches, fry the beignets on each side for 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown. Let them rest on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Coat with powdered sugar (if desired) and enjoy!
