Recipe: Beignets (Beignet Mix)

1/4 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup water

3 teaspoons sugar

1 package Beignet Mix -- (see recipe)

4 large eggs

Vegetable oil -- for frying

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and sugar. Bring the

mixture to a boil & remove pan from the heat. Add the Beignet Mix and

beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Add

the eggs, one at a time, and beat until the mixture is smooth.

Heat 4" of oil in a heavy 5- to 6-qt saucepan to 360 F. Drop the dough by

tablespoonfuls into the oil, and cook about 3 minutes until each is puffed

and golden. Drain the beignets on paper towels and sift powdered sugar over each one. Makes 2 dozen beignets.
