In another bowl, mix yeast well into 1/4 cup warm water. Add this and the beaten eggs to the creamed shortening mixture.
Add 3 1/2 cups flour and beat with a spoon. Add another 3 cups flour and mix. Put the dough in a greased bowl covered with a towel in the refrigerator. The dough may be kept in the refrigerator for a few days.
When ready to fry, roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick and cut into 3 inch squares with a knife. Cut a 1/2 inch slit in the center of each square.
Fry in oil heated to about 360º until the beignet is golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Powdered sugar may be sprinkled on top. |
