Title: Mickey Mouse Beignets
Categories: Breads
Yield: 24 small beignets

1/2 ts Dry yeast
1/4 c Warm water (105ºF/40ºC)
1/4 c Sugar
2 tb Vegetable shortening
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Heavy cream
1 lg Egg
4 c A-P flour
1/2 c Boiling water
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar

Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl,
stirring to dissolve. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Combine sugar, shortening, salt, heavy cream,
egg, flour and boiling water in a large bowl; stir in
yeast mixture. With the dough hook attachment of
an electric mixer on medium speed, mix the
dough just until combined and smooth. Let dough
rest for 30 minutes.

Roll to 1/4-inch thickness and cut individual
beignets with a Mickey Mouse-shaped cutter
or cut into 2 1/2 to 3-inch squares. Cover with a
towel and let dough rise until doubled in size in a
warm, draft-free area, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Using caution, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil to
350ºF/175ºC in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high
heat. Fry beignets until golden brown, about 2 to 3
minutes, turning as soon as they brown on one
side. Remove with tongs and place on paper
towels to drain. Dust warm beignets with
powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Makes: 2 dozen
