Ingredients
- 100 g Your favorite Bucket of Bread Brand Dough Here's Some Helpful Dough Advice to help for easier shaping, especially on the Traditional White blends. :
* Colder dough is easier to work with but may take longer to baked.
*Save a tablespoon of the mix before adding water and use that when forming your dough on the countertop to help prevent sticking.
*Want a stiffer dough? Use a little less water than the directions show. Try 1 1/4 cup of water instead of what the bucket instructions show for a bag!
- 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar How ever many you make, you're just sprinkling some sugar on the finished product. Use as much as you'd like.
- 1 Bar Milk Chocolate optional twist inside your beignet
- 1 Tbsp Strawberry Syrup optional topping or dip to add
- 1 Tbsp Raspberry Syrup optional topping or dip to add
Instructions
- Prepare a deep fat fryer with vegetable oil. If you don't have one of these, you may use a deep pan. You'll need a thermometer to check the temperatures.
- Grab a handful of dough. This one is about 100 grams. The bucket labels have since changed from when this recipe was first published.
- Roll out the dough but not too thin. You want it about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut some squares. These don't have to be even, neat, perfect or anything. Just make them about the size you want for your beignets. The size is roughly 3x3 inches
Optionally!
- Consider using some milk chocolate in the middle.
- Just roll it over itself and seal the little bit inside.
- Then at the end they are just a sweet and delicious ooey gooey treat!
Anyway, back to making beignets:
- Whatever you choose to do, just prepare your dough bits and let the oil heat up to 360-375 F.
- Don't make too many at once. You don't want to crowd them. After a few minutes the dough will float. Cook it on each side for about 2-3 minutes. You'll then have a nice color to your beignets.
- Carefully, transfer these to paper towels so as to soak up some of the oil.
Optional as well:
- What if you drizzled these with raspberry or strawberry syrups? Just a thought
Continuing on...
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar as soon as these are out of the fryer.Someone from New Orleans told me the best advice for beignets from folks there is not to sneeze before eating them. So, feel free to put on a hefty sprinkle of sugar!
- These should be eaten as close to having been made as possible but the .
- They have a crispy exterior and a fluffy, doughy interior, and are often accompanied by a cup of coffee or chicory coffee. The taste is a sweet, doughy, and slightly fried flavor.
