Basic No Yeast Beignets Food

BASIC NO YEAST BEIGNETS

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and nutmeg. In a large measuring cup whisk together water, milk and egg. Pour into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Fill a deep fryer or large heavy pot with 2 to 3 inches of peanut or canola oil and heat to 360 degrees. In batches, slide batter by spoonfuls into hot oil and fry, turning two or three times, until puffed and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. (The beignets will rise to the surface of the oil as soon as they begin to puff - if not, the oil is not hot enough.) Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. While beignets are still warm, dust heavily with powdered sugar. Serve immediately. Makes about 2 dozen.

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter in the water over medium-high heat.
• Add salt and flour, and quickly stir until a sticky batter is formed. Remove from heat.
• Beat in the eggs, 1 egg at a time, until the batter is smooth.
