Biscuit Beignets Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, mix the Bisquick baking mix and milk with a fork, until the baking mix is moistened.
• 2. Form a soft dough ball, and then knead the dough about 10 times on a lightly floured flat surface.
• 3. Flatten the dough initially with your hands and then roll the dough out from the center. Leave a little thickness to the dough.
• 4. Cut the dough into strips and then into squares. You can make the squares as big as you want, but consider the size of the saucepan you are using for frying.
• 5. In a medium-sized saucepan have approximately 2 cups of oil on high heat. When the oil is hot drop in your pieces of dough about 4 at a time, because the cooking process is fast. All you basically want to do is brown the dough.
• 6. Have a plate ready to place your browned fritter on and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Continue the process. You do need to watch carefully as you cook the beignets, they cook fast.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, evaporated milk, and blend well. Mix in 4 cups of the flour and beat until smooth. Add the shortening, and then the remaining 3 cups of flour. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours.
• Roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2 inch squares. Fry in 360 degree F (180 degrees C) hot oil. If beignets do not pop up, oil is not hot enough. Drain onto paper towels.
• Shake confectioners' sugar on hot beignets. Serve warm.
