Steps

1

Add the lemon juice to the milk and let sit for 5 minutes
2

Combine the milk mix with the hot milk, then add the yeast and sugar. Whisk it all together and see it aside for about 10min to let the yeast activate.
3

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Give it a stir, then add milk mixture.
4

Using a dough hook, or wooden spoon, mix for about 3-4 minutes, or until you have a tacky dough. Then cover the bowl in cling film or a damp tea towel and let sit for 1hr
5

Once it's doubled in size, dump it onto a well floured surface
6

Roll out and trim into small rectangles to form the Beignets. I used a pizza cutter which worked really well
7

Heat a pot of cooking oil to 180c (350 f) and place the beignets into the oil. If you're lucky they'll turn themselves, but if not turn them with a spoon
8

Remove and drain on a rack with paper towels
9

Dust with lots of icing sugar, and I love mine with my passionfruit curd. I've done a recipe for that too. You've gotta try it
