Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Warm water
- 1/3 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- as needed Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Add the warm water, whole milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast to the bread machine pan. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.
Step 2
Add the egg and softened butter to the bread machine pan.
Step 3
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the pan, ensuring the salt does not touch the yeast directly.
Step 4
Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and start it. Allow the machine to knead and rise the dough as per the cycle instructions (usually about 90 minutes).
Step 5
When the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Roll it out gently to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 6
Cut the dough into 2x2-inch squares using a sharp knife or dough cutter.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 360°F (180°C).
Step 8
Gently drop a few dough squares into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
Step 9
Remove the beignets with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining dough squares.
Step 11
Dust the warm beignets generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture!
