Method
For the Beignets
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not boiling. Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients along with the eggs.

Knead the Dough
Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Shape and Fry the Beignets
Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the beignets in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
