INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small saucepan combine the water, butter, granulated sugar, and
salt and bring the mixture to a rapid boil. Remove the pan from the
heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook the
paste over low heat, beating briskly, until the ingredients are
thoroughly combined and the dough cleanly leaves the sides of the pan
and forms a ball. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the eggs, one at
a time, beating well after each addition. By hand or with an electric
mixer set at medium speed beat the paste until it is smooth and
glossy. Stir in the vanilla. In the deep fryer heat enough shortening
to measure 3 inches to 370 degrees. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls
into the shortening and fry the beignets in batches, turning them,
until golden brown (about 3 minutes). With a slotted spoon remove to
paper towels to drain. Sprinkle the beignets with the confectioners'
sugar and serve them hot. This recipe yields about 32 beignets.
