Bread Baking: Simple Drop Beignets
When I lived in France, one thing many people made for me, was beignets. So, beignets are really nostalgic for me. This is fried bread dough kind of like doughnut holes. Drop Beignets: 4 1/2 cups (550g) flour 2 1/2 cups (550mL) water 1 tbsp dry yeast 1 tsp salt 2/3 cup (130g) sugar oil for frying Stir together water, yeast and sugar. Slowly add to flour and salt. Stir to combine. Dough will be quite sticky. Allow to rise about an hour. Using hands, pinch off a bit of dough and drop into hot oil, turning once to brown both sides. These beignets are not too sweet, but has a soft, crispy texture. My daughter described them as light and fluffy. They do get a heavier feel after they have cooled, but maintain the lightly sweet, bready flavor.
