Monsoon Beignets

Ingredients




    125ml water

    1 tablespoon yeast

    50g butter

    100g caster sugar

    1 teaspoon salt

    250ml boiling water


    250ml evaporated milk

    2 eggs, beaten

    950g plain flour

    Vegetable oil for frying

    125g icing sugar for dusting


Preparation:


    Pour 125ml room temperature water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand for about 5 minutes to dissolve.

   
Combine the butter or lard, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
 Pour the boiling water over the butter mixture and then stir in the evaporated milk.
Wait for the mixture to cool down until it is lukewarm.
 Then, add the yeast and water mixture and beaten eggs.

    Slowly mix in the flour until the dough forms a ball. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

    Working with a small portion (a little larger than a baseball) at a time, roll out the dough 3mm thick.
 Cut the rolled out dough into strips 5 to 8cm wide, then cut again in the opposite direction and at an angle, making diamond shapes.

    Heat your oil for frying in a deep and wide, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat.

    Slide dough slowly into the oil to avoid splattering and deep fry until they puff up and are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove and allow to cool until you can handle them.
Place in a clean paper bag with icing sugar and shake gently until covered generously or dust the beignets with powdered sugar.
