Air donuts on milk Beignet

Air donuts for real sweet tooth and not only. This culinary dish comes from France. It comes in different sizes and shapes, both round and square, both large and small. Beignet doughnuts are very delicate and airy. Like everything delicious and original from what the French came up with, this culinary recipe has spread around the world. I tried these donuts when I flew to visit a friend in America. The waiter revealed to me the secret of their preparation. More precisely, his mother, with whom he introduced us, after my persistent persuasion. In fact, the recipe is quite simple to execute. Sweet tooths will really like this dish. In general, doughnuts are food to lift the mood on cold autumn evenings.

Cooking Beignet doughnuts, as usual, I start with the dough. In a large bowl, I dissolve the yeast in warm water and leave it under a towel for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add sugar, salt, lightly beaten eggs, pour in milk and beat everything very well. Then I add 4 cups of flour and knead the dough until smooth. Now I can add softened butter and gradually add the rest of the flour. I cover the dough with a napkin and put it in a warm place so that it "fits" for about 4 hours. The dough that has come up is divided into small balls, since donuts will greatly increase in volume when frying. I put the balls on a floured board and let them stand for a few more minutes. Meanwhile, I pour odorless vegetable oil into a deep frying pan and heat it up strongly. Or you can just fry donuts in a deep fryer. Put our donut balls on the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown. Flip the donuts on a sieve and let the excess oil drain. Ready-made Beignet doughnuts are spread on a dish and sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar.
Beignet doughnuts should be served with coffee with milk or black.
