New Orleans French Market Beignets
 
Dough:
1/2 tbs. Yeast
1-3/4 cups   Bread flour
1/2 tsp.   Ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp.   Salt
2 tbs.   Sugar
2   Eggs
3/4 cup   Milk
Coating:
1/4 cup   Powdered sugar
 
     
 
Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Pour dough ingredients into baking machine. Process on dough cycle.
When dough cycle ends, remove dough from machine. On floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll dough out into 10"x12" rectangle. Cut into 2" x 2" squares.
Place on greased trays, cover, and let rise 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
In wok or large saucepan, heat oil to 365 degrees for deep frying. Fry 3-4 beignets at a time for 10-15 seconds on one side until golden. Turn carefully and fry other side until lightly browned. Drain quickly on crumpled brown paper bags or on several layers of newspaper covered with a sheet of paper towel. To coat beignets, shake a few at a time in paper bag with powdered sugar or 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 ts ground cinnamon.
