Hey everyone, I hope you’re having an amazing day today. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a special dish, beignets. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a bit tasty. 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 enjoyed by millions daily. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. Beignets is something that I have loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. 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
- Make ready 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- Prepare 1/2 cup hot milk
- Prepare 4 tsp dry active yeast
- Prepare 2 1/2 tbsp white sugar
- Make ready 4 cups bread flour
- Take 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Prepare 1/2 tsp salt
They are usually yeasted and raised doughs, but we skipped the yeast to create a super-simple and quick version. Beignets (pronounced "ben-yeys") are the official state doughnut of Louisiana, and for good reason! Hailing from the French Quarter of New Orleans, locals and visitors line up year-round to try this French-inspired, perfectly-fried treat dusted with powdered sugar. Beignets were also brought to Louisiana by the Acadians.
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
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.
