Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large bowl, combine the Warm Milk, Granulated Sugar, and Active Dry Yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add the Large Egg and Melted Butter to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add the All-Purpose Flour and Salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Roll out the dough to about inch thickness. Cut into fry shapes (approximately 3x1 inches).
Heat the Vegetable Oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the beignet fries in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Remove the fries and drain on paper towels.
While still warm, toss the fries in Powdered Sugar to coat.
