Princess & The Frog fans, this one's for you. Jen's here to teach you how to recreate Tiana's heavenly, addicting beignets.
Ingredients—
1 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
¼ cup sugar
¾ cup warm water
½ cup evaporated milk
1 egg, beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp shortening
Honey
Powdered sugar
Steps—
In a large bowl, combine warm water (about 110-115°F), yeast, and sugar. Allow to bloom and become foamy for about 10-12 minutes.
Whisk in evaporated milk and egg. Then whisk in one-third of the flour and salt. Switch to a spoon and mix in the shortening and the rest of the flour just until crumbly.
Dump out the mixture onto a board. Knead with your hands just until mostly smooth. Be careful not to over-knead. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, allow to rise until doubled in size.
In a cast iron skillet or deep dryer, heat a neutral cooking oil to 380°F. Meanwhile, transfer dough to a well-floured surface and roll out until ¼ inch thick. Square off the edges with knife or pastry cutter and cut dough into squares.
Fry a few squares at a time, while basting to tops with the hot oil. Flip to the other side and repeat. Continue flipping over several times until golden brown. Drain on a rack, brown paper bag, or paper towel, and continue frying the rest.
Drizzle with honey and cover with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
