Buttermilk Beignets (French Donuts)
SERVES 12INGREDIENTS
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 packages (4-1/2 tsp) active dry yeast
- 3 tbsp T-Sugars Belgian Cassonade Sugar
- 4 cups bread flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- Oil for frying
- T-Sugars Icing Sugar Mill (1-2 cups)
DIRECTIONS
Heat milk over medium heat until bubbles form. Remove from heat and pour into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add buttermilk, yeast and T-Sugars
Belgian Cassonade Sugar. After yeast begins to look foamy, add in flour, baking soda and salt.
Using dough hook attachment, mix on low speed for about 5 minutes or until ingredients are combined. Increase speed to medium and knead for 7-8 minutes. When finished, dough should be sticky but pulling away from sides of bowl.
Oil dough and interior of bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, at least 1 hour.
Turn dough onto floured surface and roll out to ½-inch (1.27 cm) thickness. Cut into 2-inch (5 cm) squares. Fry in oil over medium heat (350°-375°F or 180°-190°C in a deep fryer), turning constantly. When golden brown, remove from oil and drain on plate lined with paper towels.
Dust generously on all sides with T-Sugars Icing Sugar Mill.
