Ingredients

  • 1packageactive dry yeast
  • ½cupwarm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
  • ½cupevaporated milk
  • ½cupwhite sugar
  • 1egg, beaten
  • 2tablespoonsvegetable oil
  • 1teaspoonvanilla extract
  • 1teaspoonsalt
  • 3cupsall-purpose flour
  • vegetable oil for frying

  • Directions

    Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.

    Add milk, sugar, egg, oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast. Vigorously beat in flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

    Divide dough into quarters. Place 1 portion on a heavily floured surface. Roll to about 1/8-inch thickness using a well floured rolling pin. Cut into 2-inch squares. Repeat with remaining 3 portions.

    Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C). Fry beignets, a few at a time, until they puff and rise to the top, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.



    We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
