EASY CLASSIC FRENCH BEIGNETS
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Fill a deep pot with 2 inches of oil and heat to 375 F.
- 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.
- Fry mounded teaspoons of dough, several at a time, for about 6 minutes or until light, golden brown on each side. Don't crowd the fryer; ensure each beignet has plenty of room to move around. They may flip over by themselves, or you can use a slotted spoon to flip them so they cook evenly on all sides.
- Drain the beignets for a few minutes on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm and enjoy.

FRENCH QUARTER BEIGNETS (FROM PAULA DEEN)
I have been to New Orleans twice and one of the things that keeps me coming back are the wonderful beignets that we had most mornings for breakfast (along with a hurricane cocktail) at Cafe Du Monde. Here's a recipe from Paula Deen that is about as close to Cafe Du Monde as I can get without a plane ticket.

Steps:
- Mix water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, salt and evaporated milk together.
- Mix egg mixture to the yeast mixture.
- In a separate bowl, measure out the bread flour.
- Add 3 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the shortening and continue to stir while adding the remaining flour.
- Remove dough from the bowl, place onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
- Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray. Put dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel.
- Let rise in a warm place for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Add the confectioners' sugar to a paper or plastic bag and set aside.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 1-inch squares.
- Deep-fry, flipping constantly, until they become a golden color.
- After beignets are fried, drain them for a few seconds on paper towels, and then toss them into the bag of confectioners' sugar.
- Hold bag closed and shake to coat evenly.
- Serve warm with syrup, if desired.

Steps:
- 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.
