SAVORY BUCKWHEAT BEIGNETS

Steps:

• Blend yeast with 2 tablespoons milk, the sugar and egg in bowl of electric mixer. When mixture is bubbly, add remaining milk, buckwheat flour, bread flour and salt, and mix with a dough hook at low speed until dough is elastic. Add butter a tablespoon at a time, and mix well to make a soft, springy dough.
• Transfer dough to lightly buttered bowl, cover, and refrigerate until doubled, about 3 hours. Remove from refrigerator and punch down.
• Dust work surface with buckwheat flour, and roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rounds 1 inch in diameter or into 2-by- 1/2-inch rectangles. Scraps can be rerolled. Allow cut dough to rest 30 minutes.
• Heat oil to 300 degrees in a deep pan. Fry beignets in small batches until brown, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels, and cool 10 minutes before serving, with caviar and creme fraiche, if desired.

BEIGNETS

Steps:

• Mix together the yeast, flour, sugar and 1 tsp sea salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk together the evaporated milk and egg and tip into the bowl with the melted butter and 60ml just-boiled water. Knead on a medium speed for 2 mins in the stand mixer, or for 5 mins on a lightly floured work surface, until smooth. Shape the dough into a ball and put in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp tea towel and chill for 8-24 hrs.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into a roughly 20 x 25cm rectangle about 1cm thick. Cut into 20 x 5cm squares.
• Pour the oil into a deep stock pot or saucepan, so it is no deeper than one-third full. Or, use a deep-fat fryer. Heat the oil to 175C. Line a baking tray with kitchen paper. Fry the beignets in batches for 3 mins, turning occasionally with tongs, until puffed up and golden brown. Lift the beignets onto the paper to drain, then move to a wire rack, dust generously with icing sugar and serve warm.
