Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
• 3 cups flour
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 package yeast
• powdered sugar.

Directions

• In a small bowl, mix together the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
• Heat milk to scalding. (Steaming but not boiling.)
• Place the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Pour the scalding milk over the top of the butter and sugar.
• Stir the milk so that the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO COOL TO LUKEWARM. (You dont want to kill the yeast!)
• Add the yeast and stir it in.
• Add the egg and HALF of the dry ingredients to the bowl and beat well.
• Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Place the dough on a floured counter and knead about 2-3 minutes, or until it is soft and pliable.
• Place your kneaded dough into a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Place the dough onto a floured counter and flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick.
• Cut the dough into triangles or squares.
• Place the dough pieces on a greased cookie sheet and cover with greased (use PAM) cellophane. Allow them to rise for 30 minutes - 1 hour, or until they have almost doubled in size.
• Heat canola oil to 385 degrees.
• Scoop the dough into the oil using a slotted spoon or fry basket.
• Fry for 1-2 minutes and then flip the dough using your slotted spoon or fry basket.
• Fry the second side for 1-2 more minutes. Your beignets should now be golden brown on both sides.
• Remove the beignets and place them on a paper towel to cool a bit.
• Once cooled enough to prevent burning your mouth, dump powdered sugar over the top of the beignets and ENJOY!
