Yield 30
INGREDIENTS
2¼ teaspoons dry active yeast (1 pack)
2 ounces sugar
6 ounces lukewarm water
18 ounces all-purpose flour
4 ounces evaporated milk
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 large egg
1 quart peanut oil for deep frying
Satsuma Mamalade (below)
PREPARATION
1. In a bowl combine the yeast, sugar, and water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2. In another larger bowl, add the flour, milk, walt, butter, and egg. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until it forms a ball. Knead, adding just enough flour so as not to stick. Let rest and proof until it doubles in size (approximately 2 hours).
3. Once doubled, lay the dough on floured surface and roll with a rolling pin to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into 1-inch squares.
4. Pour the oil into a deep sauce pot with a candy or deep-fry thermometer and warm up to 335˚F over medium heat. Add the beignets, flipping constantly, until they become a golden color.
5. After beignets are fried, drain them for a few seconds on paper towels. Serve with the marmalade.
