To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have beignets using 8 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Beignets:

1. Make ready 1 1/2 cups milk
2. Get 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
3. Prepare 1/2 cup hot milk
4. Take 4 tsp dry active yeast
5. Prepare 2 1/2 tbsp white sugar
6. Prepare 4 cups bread flour
7. Make ready 1/2 tsp baking soda

New Orleans-style beignets are probably the most well-known beignets in the United States, and they're surprisingly easy to make at home. With just one bowl and a handful of kitchen staples, you can whip up a batch and transport yourself to the French Quarter, no plane ticket required. My NOLA beignet experience has remained a lasting memory. I was lucky enough to be in great company, music played all around us, and as we Beignets only have a single rise, unlike doughnuts, which have a second rise after they are cut out.

Instructions to make Beignets:

1. Add the lemon juice to the milk and let sit for 5 minutes
2. Combine the milk mix with the hot milk, then add the yeast and sugar. Whisk it all together and see it aside for about 10min to let the yeast activate.
3. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Give it a stir, then add milk mixture.
4. Using a dough hook, or wooden spoon, mix for about 3-4 minutes, or until you have a tacky dough. Then cover the bowl in cling film or a damp tea towel and let sit for 1hr
5. Once it's doubled in size, dump it onto a well floured surface
6. Roll out and trim into small rectangles to form the Beignets. I used a pizza cutter which worked really well
7. Heat a pot of cooking oil to 180c (350 f) and place the beignets into the oil. If you're lucky they'll turn themselves, but if not turn them with a spoon
8. Remove and drain on a rack with paper towels
9. Dust with lots of icing sugar, and I love mine with my passionfruit curd. I've done a recipe for that too. You've gotta try it

My NOLA beignet experience has remained a lasting memory. I was lucky enough to be in great company, music played all around us, and as we Beignets only have a single rise, unlike doughnuts, which have a second rise after they are cut out. Instead, beignets go from the initial rise to cutting. The beignets reminded me of the ones from the original Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. I didn't feel the flavor was too bland as some readers suggested, but it does require more powdered sugar then the recipe calls for.
