Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- Add milk, sugar, egg, oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast. Vigorously beat in flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Divide dough into quarters. Place 1 portion on a heavily floured surface. Roll to about 1/8-inch thickness using a well floured rolling pin. Cut into 2-inch squares. Repeat with remaining 3 portions.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C). Fry beignets, a few at a time, until they puff and rise to the top, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

NEW ORLEANS STYLE BEIGNET RECIPE
Beignets (pronounced "ben-YAYS") are a traditional New Orleans deep-fried yeast pastry. In the heart of the French Quarter at the Café du Monde, every good day starts and often ends with a plate of these airy golden treats and a cup of chicory-infused café au lait. Rising times are not included in the prep and cooking times.

Steps:
- Combine the Yeast, Water, and Sugar in the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (You could also make this in a food processor, or the old fashioned way, by hand).
- Let this sit until frothy, about 5 minutes, then add the Salt, Egg, and Evaporated Milk.
- Mix on low speed, then add half of the flour until it starts to come together, then add the shortening.
- When the shortening is incorporated start adding the remaining flour, a little at a time until most of it is incorporated.
- At this time I always turn the dough onto a floured bench to finish by hand, just like when I make bread; it's a touch thing.
- Knead the dough adding just enough flour as necessary to make a non-sticky, smooth dough.
- Place the dough into a large oiled bowl, loosely cover and let rise (I made mine last night and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator).
- After the dough has doubled in bulk, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface and roll out into a rectangle that is about 1/2-inch thick.
- With a very sharp knife working at a diagonal to the rectangle, cut into 2-inch wide strips.
- Now cut into diamond shapes by making diagonal cuts in the opposite direction.
- Place the Beignets on a floured baking sheet to let rise about 40 minutes in a warm place (I place them in a barely warm oven).
- When the Beignets have risen, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan to 350-360 degrees.
- Place 2-3 Beignets into the hot oil at a time, being careful not to smash or deflate them.
- When they are golden brown, flip them over until golden brown on the other side (They go pretty quickly so start checking them right after they go into the oil).
- Remove to paper towel lined plates to drain.
- Serve hot topped with plenty of powdered sugar (because the dough doesn't contain much sugar, you will want a lot!).
- Best served with Cafe au Lait. Enjoy!

FRENCH QUARTER BEIGNETS (FROM PAULA DEEN)
I have been to New Orleans twice and one of the things that keeps me coming back are the wonderful beignets that we had most mornings for breakfast (along with a hurricane cocktail) at Cafe Du Monde. Here's a recipe from Paula Deen that is about as close to Cafe Du Monde as I can get without a plane ticket.

- Add 3 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the shortening and continue to stir while adding the remaining flour.

- Hold bag closed and shake to coat evenly.
- Serve warm with syrup, if desired.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, stir granulated sugar and yeast in warm water until dissolved. In large bowl, beat eggs, milk and melted butter. Add yeast mixture; mix well. Add flour and salt; mix well. (Dough will be very sticky.) Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
