Beignets
Makes 30 beignets

PREP_TIME_MINUTES
15 minutes

COOK_TIME_MINUTES
30 minutes

TOTAL_TIME_MINUTES
105 minutes

INGREDIENTS
¾ cup water, lukewarm
3½ teaspoons active dry yeast (1½ ¼-ounce envelopes)
2 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon kosher salt
8 cups canola oil, for frying, plus more for greasing
Powdered sugar, for topping

PREPARATION
1. Pour the water into a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let stand for about 5 minutes, until foamy.
2. Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and sugar, and whisk to combine.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a flexible spatula to form a shaggy dough. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and use your hands to knead until it comes together in a smooth ball, about 2 minutes.
5. Grease a clean large bowl with canola oil. Transfer the dough to the greased bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
6. Punch the dough down with your fist, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
7. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares, then transfer the squares to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Heat the canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C).
9. Lower the dough squares, 3-4 at a time, into the hot oil. As soon as the beignets puff up, use tongs or a kitchen spider to gently flip them over. Fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping as needed, 2-3 minutes more. Transfer the beignets to a wire rack to drain.
10. Dust the beignets with powdered sugar and serve warm.
11. Enjoy!
