Directions:
- Make the dough the night before
- In a large bowl place the warm water and sprinkle on the yeast and a couple of tsp of sugar and let sit till yeast is foamy- about 10 minutes
- Add and stir in the ramaining sugar, eggs, milk and salt and beat with a wooden spoon by hand until well blended
- Beat in 4 cups of flour untiol blended and then beast in shortening with a spoon
- Gradually add remaining flour and stir in by hand, it will become more stiff but the dough is not meant to be keneaded
- Cover bowl with plastic and chill the dough overnight
- When ready to prepare, remove dough from bowl ( I removed about 1/4 of it , it will be cold and sticky ) with floured hands and roll dough out on floured board or marble surface about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thich
- With a sharp knife cut into rectangle pieces and place a few at a time in hot oil ( of most importance make sure your oil is hot enough and do not crowd while frying )!!!
- These will puff up and rise to the surface and look like pillows
- Use a slotted spoon to turn and brown the other side
- These will cook fast
- Place beignets in a paper lined basket and dust heavuly with powder sugar
- Great with coffee or cafe au lait
- If you have the tiome, make as much as you need and keep beignets warm in a 200F oven and then dust with the sugar before serving
