Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Roll and Cut
Once risen, roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into squares or circles.
Heat Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Beignets
Carefully drop the dough pieces into the hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
Fill with Nutella
Once slightly cooled, use a piping bag to fill each beignet with Nutella.
Dust with Powdered Sugar
Generously dust the filled beignets with powdered sugar before serving.
