This recipe is from the Cafe de Monde at the French Quarter in New Orleans. Every trip to New Orleans required a trip to the Cafe de Monde for beignets. Eat with plenty of napkins!


   1 cup milk
   2 tablespoons shortening
   2 tablespoons sugar
   1 package dry yeast
   3 cups flour
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
   1 egg
   Oil for frying
   Powdered sugar lots!


In enameled pot, heat milk. Combine shortening and sugar in a bowl and add milk, stir until all is dissolved. When cooled, add yeast and dissolve. Sift in flour, salt, nutmeg and add about 1/2 to the milk mixture. Mix until smooth and add the egg, beat well. Add the remaining flour mixture and stir until all is smooth. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise, about 5-6 hours.

Put dough onto a floured surface and roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 2 or 3 inch squares and let stand 20 minutes before frying. Heat oil in deep fryer 1-2 inches deep and fry squares, turning only once. When golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to blot excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar and eat immediately.
