Hello everybody, it’s Louise, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a special dish, beignets. One of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
The beignets reminded me of the ones from the original Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. I didn't feel the flavor was too bland as some readers suggested, but it does require more powdered sugar then the recipe calls for. I'll probably add a little vanilla to enhance the flavor next time.
Beignets is one of the most favored of recent trending meals in the world. It’s easy, it is fast, it tastes delicious. It is appreciated by millions daily. They are fine and they look wonderful. Beignets is something which I have loved my entire life.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have beignets using 8 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Beignets:
- Make ready 1 1/2 cups milk
- Get 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- Get 1/2 cup hot milk
- Take 4 tsp dry active yeast
- Make ready 2 1/2 tbsp white sugar
- Take 4 cups bread flour
- Get 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Get 1/2 tsp salt
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. A Dutch oven is the best vessel for home frying. Dust the beignets heavily with powdered sugar before serving.
Steps 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
The beignets turned out beautifully, crisp on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside. Keeping the dough in the refrigerator overnight made handling the dough so much easier. I just added a small amount of flour to the dough to remove the sticky. Because beignets are best eaten hot, I highly suggest serving these as soon as possible! Once they've sat, they become soggy and unappealing.
