Beignets instructions
- In a bowl, add in water and yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast. Set aside for 5 mins. After 5 mins, the yeast mixture should become foamy..
- Add in eggs and milk. Lightly whisk to combine well. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, salt and butter. Lightly stir to combine well. Create a well in the middle..
- Add the yeast mixture into the well gradually while still mixing. Mix to combine well or until it comes together as a dough. Knead the dough inside the bowl until all the nooks and crannies of flour is kneaded into the dough, about 5 mins..
- The dough should be very tacky. Transfer the dough out onto a working surface and continue kneading for another 5 to 8 mins until smooth and slightly tacky. It should pass the "window-pane" test. If the dough is too dry, add in water, 1 TBSP at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add in flour, 1 TBSP at a time..
- Generously grease the bowl with butter.. Transfer the dough back to greased bowl. Cover with cling film and let rise for 2 hrs or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough to deflate the air..
- Divide the dough into halves. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape with a thickness of about 1/4 inch thick..
- Cover with a damp lint free kitchen towel and let it rise for 30 mins. It should have risen to about 1/2 inch thick and is light and fluffy. Using a pizza cutter, cut them into squares. Add oil into a dutch oven, about 2 inches in depth, over medium heat..
- To check if the temperature of the oil is ready, place a wooden chopstick into the oil. If bubbles start to form, the temperature is ready for frying.* Gently drop the dough into the oil away from you. Deep fry until golden brown on both sides..
- Remove from heat and drain off excess oil in a wire cooling rack or a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat the steps for the remaining dough. Transfer the beignets onto a serving plate. Lightly dust some icing sugar over the top. Serve with your favorite compote or jam..
