Cooking Instructions
- 1
1/4 cup room temperature water sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand for about 5 minutes to dissolve.
- 2
Combine the butter sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the butter mixture and then stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla. Wait for the mixture to cool down to touch
- 3
Then add the yeast and water mixture and beaten egg to that mixture.
- 4
Slowly mix in the flour until the dough forms a ball. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- 5
Working with a ¼ portion of the dough at a time, roll out the dough 1/8-inch thick. Use flour as need as you roll this out. Cut the rolled out dough into strips 2 inches wide, then cut again in the opposite direction and at an angle, making triangle shapes.
- 6
Heat your oil for frying in a deep and wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degree F (180 degrees C).
- 7
Slide dough slowly into the oil to avoid splattering and deep fry until they puff up and are golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. (Do a test on one or two to adjust the heat and time). Carefully remove onto a rack with paper towels underneath and allow to cool until you can handle them
- 8
Place in a bowl and use a sifter to dust the beignets with powdered sugar.

Beignets Beignets
I love waking up with a sweet breakfast morning during the Thanksgiving and Xmas season. Whether it is a Dutch Baby, a simple set of waffles or these lovely Beignets. I know I don't need to travel to Café Du Monde at New Orleans to taste these Beignets, I can simply make these in my home kitchen. So can you!Beignet is actually a deep fried choux pastry which is popular in France, but somehow it found its way into New Orleans and eventually evolved into a donut served with icing sugar. Beignets are often served with café au lait, a French coffee with milk.Tho I am not a donut person, but this just blow me away. They are light, fluffy and crispy at the same time unlike the greasy, overly sweet and dense donuts. I love having these Beignets with my strawberry compote. You can of cos serve them as it is or with any homemade or store-bought high quality compote or jam. You can my homemade compote recipe here. I hope you can give this recipe a try and have breakfast in bed not just during the Thanksgiving or Xmas season, but on every other morning.

The beignets my brother-in-law made for me were so good, I wanted to try making them myself.Be sure to eat them fresh. If you can't eat them right away, put the dough in the refrigerator and let chill until you are just about ready to eat. They're also good cold, but are simply best when fresh! Recipe by Nusadoa

Simple & Springy Beignet-Style Bread Simple & Springy Beignet-Style Bread
I wanted to eat bread without using the oven...This turned out tone like beignet bread (also known as fritters) that doesn't harden even after cooling.This will look like French bread if you cut a slit into it, and it won't swell up right if you don't cut one, so I recommend cutting slits.This also tastes great with honey, jam, chocolate, or condensed milk etc. For 2 people.

Chouquettes Chouquettes
This is a very basic recipe for French chouquettes. It is a very delicious and simple French snack that looks like tiny little cream puffs. I discovered this after looking for recipes for German cream puffs (trying to find one that most matched what my mother had made years ago). Turns out, the recipe for German cream puffs start out pretty much the same.They both start out as Choux pastry. Which is in fact very simple-butter, water, eggs and flour.The taste is a little sweet and slightly eggy.* A little warning, you may work up a sweat stirring this one

Les Bugnes (French Donuts) Les Bugnes (French Donuts)
Let’s discover the world of French pastry one delicious recipe at a time and so far it has been great. The word bugne means "beignet" in French, which means donut in English, but don’t be confused they are not the same. They are an old pastry that existed already in Roman times and were consumed at the time of "caranval" or Mardi Gras & Fat Tuesday, the last day before the 40 days of Lent leading up to Easter. Almost every European country has its own version. I got to know this French version in the Pinterest and use google for translating in to English version with some modification to taste my buds.#mycookbook
