Mini Beignets Recipe

Prepare the Dough

In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and allow it to sit for 5 minutes or until frothy.

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture, followed by the beaten egg and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Let the Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Beignets

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into squares.

Fry the Beignets

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the dough squares until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Combine Ingredients

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine shredded gouda cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Heat Mixture

Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Prepare the Apples

In a saucepan, combine chopped apples, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat until apples are soft, about 10-15 minutes.

Blend the Mixture

Allow the mixture to cool, then blend until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
