INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer,
fitted with a dough hook, add the yeast, sugar, shortening, and milk,
mix for 2 minutes. Add the egg. Mix well. Add 4 cups of the flour and
salt. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about
1 minute. Then beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball,
leaves the sides of the bowl, and climbs up the dough hook. Remove
the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a
smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn
it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm,
draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 2 hours. Turn the
dough out onto a floured surface and pat the dough into a rectangle
about 1-inch thick. Lightly dust the surface of the dough. Roll out
the rectangle to 12 1/2 inches long by 10 inches wide and about
1/4-inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into twenty 2
1/2-inch square beignets. Fry the beignets, a couple at a time until
golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove
and drain on a paper towels. Sprinkle the beignets with powdered
sugar and serve. Fill each cup with 1/2 cup of coffee and 1/2 cup of
the hot milk. Stir well.
