Beignets

Directions

  1. In bowl of stand mixer fitted with hook attachment, sift together all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder.
  2. Turn mixer to low, and slowly add water. Once all the water is incorporated, pour in melted butter.
  3. Once butter is added, increase speed to medium, and let mix until dough begins to come together. (It will take 6 to 9 minutes of kneading for it to form into a ball. If the dough is too crumbly, add a few drops of water until it comes together.)
  4. Once dough is smooth and even, split it into two logs, and wrap them well with plastic. Let dough rest for 30 minutes before using or refrigerating.
