Ingredients

1 cup warm milk
1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons salted butter softened
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 quarts vegetable oil
3 cups powdered sugar


Instructions

1 In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in flour. Use a dough hook and turn on to a low speed.

2 As the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to medium. Add more flour as needed until the dough is soft and tacky, but not sticky.

3 Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.

4 Pour enough vegetable oil into a pot to cover it with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 350 degrees F.

5 Take dough and divide it into 2 even pieces, this will be easier to work with. Roll each piece out into an oblong shape.

6 Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut into about 16 pieces. Dust with flour and set aside, or place right into hot oil.

7 Fry the beignets for about 90 seconds on each side, or until they achieve a deep golden color. Remove them from the oil and place them on a baking rack or paper towel lined baking sheet to let some of the oil drain off.

8Work in batches, frying only a few at a time to avoid crowding and to keep the oil temperature from dropping too much.

9 Dust the beignets with confectioners' sugar while still warm, either by sprinkling the sugar over them or dipping them into a bowl full of confectioners' sugar.

Serve and enjoy!
