To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have beignets using 8 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Beignets:
- Get 1 1/2 cups milk
- Prepare 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- Get 1/2 cup hot milk
- Prepare 4 tsp dry active yeast
- Get 2 1/2 tbsp white sugar
- Get 4 cups bread flour
- Take 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Make ready 1/2 tsp salt
They are traditionally prepared right before consumption to be eaten fresh and hot. Variations of fried dough can be found across cuisines internationally; however, the origin of the term beignet is specifically French. Beignets are closely related to a fritter or funnel cake. They are usually yeasted and raised doughs, but we skipped the yeast to create a super-simple and quick version.
Instructions to make Beignets:
- Add the lemon juice to the milk and let sit for 5 minutes
- Combine the milk mix with the hot milk, then add the yeast and sugar. Whisk it all together and see it aside for about 10min to let the yeast activate.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Give it a stir, then add milk mixture.
- Using a dough hook, or wooden spoon, mix for about 3-4 minutes, or until you have a tacky dough. Then cover the bowl in cling film or a damp tea towel and let sit for 1hr
- Once it's doubled in size, dump it onto a well floured surface
- Roll out and trim into small rectangles to form the Beignets. I used a pizza cutter which worked really well
- Heat a pot of cooking oil to 180c (350 f) and place the beignets into the oil. If you're lucky they'll turn themselves, but if not turn them with a spoon
- Remove and drain on a rack with paper towels
- Dust with lots of icing sugar, and I love mine with my passionfruit curd. I've done a recipe for that too. You've gotta try it
Beignets were also brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. These were fried fritters, sometimes filled with fruit. Today, the beignet is a square piece of dough, fried and covered with powdered sugar. A Dutch oven is the best vessel for home frying. Dust the beignets heavily with powdered sugar before serving.
