πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

In a small bowl, combine water, yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar. Let stand about 10 minutes, until yeast foams.

Meanwhile, combine milk, vanilla, butter, egg, 1/3 cup sugar, salt and nutmeg.

Stir in the yeast mixture.

Add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

After three cups have been added, knead in the remaining flour, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time.

Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Place dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down dough and roll to a 1/2-inch thickness.

Cut the dough into 2-inch diamond shapes.

Place on ungreased baking sheets.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Pour oil to a depth of 3-inches in a heavy pot or fryer.

Heat to 365Β° and fry the beignets, 4 or 5 at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Drain on paper towel and place in a warm oven while frying the remaining beignets.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving warm.

Makes about 30.
