Lazy-Cook Beignets (New Orleans-Style Square Donuts)
1 pkg. (1 lb.) Hot Roll Mix 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Confectioners' sugar, sifted Prepare roll mix according to package directions, adding 1/4 cup sugar to flour mixture and vanilla to hot water. When kneading is completed, proceed as follows: Coat bowl with shortening or oil; roll ball of dough in bowl to coat with oil. Cover with waxed paper and a towel. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Remove dough from refrigerator; punch down and cut in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half to make a 9 X 12-inch rectangle. Cut each into 12 (3-inch) squares. Cover with towel and let rise for 30 minutes. Deep fry beignets, two at a time. Fry 1-1/2 minutes; turn and fry 1-1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle generously with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 2 dozen NOTES : Just like they serve at Cafe du Monde, only easier! Convenient hot roll mix is the secret. Don't forget to serve with steaming mugs of strong coffee. (and your guests will think you worked at these all day!!) |
