Here's how you can recreate a similar version of New Orleans style beignets at home with a simple and delicious recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine water, milk, sugar, butter, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat until butter is melted and mixture is warm (about 110-115°F).
  2. Pour warm mixture into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until yeast is foamy.
  3. Add 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture and stir until combined. Gradually add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough is soft and slightly sticky.
  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down risen dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 2-inch squares.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 360°F (180°C). Fry beignets in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Remove beignets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy the taste of New Orleans right at home!
