Ingredients:  
1 packet active instant dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup evaporated milk
7 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Crisco vegetable shortening, for frying
Directions:
Directions:
In a small bowl, pour entire packet of dry yeast into warm water. Stir until dissolved. Pour into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt, eggs and evaporated milk. Blend well with electric mixer. Add in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in fridge 3-4 hours or overnight, if possible.

Dump out chilled dough on a floured surface and knead until smooth and no longer sticky. Split dough in half and set one half aside. It is easier to work with one mound at a time. Roll out to 1/8" thickness with a lightly floured rolling pin. Using a Mickey-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many shapes as you can then re-roll leftover dough and cut again. Repeat. If you do not have a Mickey-shaped cookie cutter, simply use a pizza cutter and run it across the dough crosswise then again lengthwise to create 2x2" squares.

Heat the vegetable shortening in a deep pan until it lightly smokes. Carefully drop the Mickey-shaped dough into the hot oil. Let it cook until golden brown then flip to cook opposite side. Remove from pan and let drain on a paper towel-line plate. Repeat for remaining dough.

Place the cooked beignets on a serving platter and sprinkle heavily with powdered sugar using a sifter or large spoon.
