Beignets

Yes, please!

They sound scary, don’t they?

They aren’t.

• First - mix the following:
  
• 2 cups flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk

• Second - in a saucepan, stir together:
• 2lbs of brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups water
• Note – this sauce can be substituted with maple syrup
• Bring to a boil:

• Third – using your trusty cereal spoon, drop dough into sauce.
• Cook about 4 minutes on each side.

Dust with a little powdered sugar if you wish.  Really, what’s a dusting of extra sugar at this point.

Breakfast is served!

 

 

Just a note: The beignets weren’t crispy, as they should have been.  I would fry in oil and then give them a dunk in the sauce if you want traditional crispy beignets.
