Ingredients
- 1 pkt active dry yeast
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable shortening
- 1 1/4 c. hot lowfat milk (110 degrees)
- 1 x egg beaten
- 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 c. chestnut flour
- 1 pch salt Oil for frying
- 1 c. honey
Directions
- Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a dough hook, add in the yeast, sugar, shortening, and lowfat milk, mix for 2 min. Add in the egg. Mix well. Add in 2 c. of the flour, the chestnut flour and salt. Beat at low speed till all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then beat at medium speed till the mix forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl, and climbs up the dough hook.
- Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a hot, draft-free place till it doubles in size, about 2 hrs.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Lightly dust the surface of the dough. Roll out the rectangle to 12 1/2 inches long by 10 inches wide and about 1/4-inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 20 (2 1/2-inch) square beignets.
- Fry the beignets, a couple at a time till golden and crispy on all sides, about 3 to 5 min. Remove and drain on a paper towels. Drizzle with the honey and serve.
