Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 4 tablespoons sugar divided in half
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 egg whisked
  • cooking oil spray
  • 2 quarts canola oil

Topping

  • 1 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer, combine milk, 2 Tbsp. sugar, and yeast. Let it sit.
  • While waiting for the yeast to activate, in a medium sized bowl combine flour, salt and remaining 2 tbsp. sugar. Set aside.
  • In a microwave dish, melt butter. Let it cool slightly.
  • Using the dough hook on the mixer, add whisked egg and butter to the milk mixture.
  • Add flour ingredients to the mixer with milk and egg mixture.
  • Let the mixer knead the dough for 10 minutes.
  • Remove dough and spray the mixer bowl with cooking oil. Place dough back into the mixer bowl and cover with plastic wrap for one hour.
  • On a lightly floured cutting board, roll dough into a wide rectangular shape, ½ inch thick. (If you want airy beignets, roll thin. If not, roll slightly thicker.)
  • Using a bench scraper, cut dough into small squares.
  • On medium heat, add oil to the pot and deep fry the beignets until golden.
  • Place on a baking sheet pan.
  • Sift powdered sugar over beignets.
