Beignets

 
Beignets are square small doughnuts from New Orleans.  They are small square doughnuts that are sprinkles with powdered sugar and you can dip them in chocolate or strawberries.
Combine milk, oil sugar, and salt over medium heat until it bubbles around the edges then removed from heat.



While the milk is heating mix yeast, 1 T sugar, salt and water and let rest for 10 min or until foamy
Add milk mixture and 2 cups of flour to yeast mixture and mix until smooth
Add egg

Add enough of the remaining flour until slightly sticky


Roll out dough and cut into squares and let rest covered by a clean towel for 30 min
After 15 min begin to heat the oil to 325 you need several inches of oil
 Place squares in hot oil for 4 min or until golden brown on one side
 Flip and cook for another couple min
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy
