      Title: Bourbon Street Beignets
 Categories: Doughnuts
      Yield: 1

    1/4 c  Warm water (105-115 deg F)
      1 pk Active dry yeast
    1/4 c  Sugar
      2 tb Shortening
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Boiling water
    1/2 c  Heavy cream
      1    Egg, beaten
      4 c  All-purpose flour 4-4 1/2 c
           Oil for deep frying
           Powdered sugar

  Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside. Place sugar, shortening, 
  salt and boiling water in Bowl. Stir until shortening is melted 
  and sugar dissolves; cool to lukewarm. Add cream, egg, 3 cups 
  flour and yeast to sugar-shortening mixture. Attach Bowl and 
  Dough Hook. Turn to Speed 2 and mix for 2 minutes. Add remaining 
  flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to Hook and cleans 
  sides of Bowl, about 5 minutes. Knead on Speed 2 for 5 to 7 
  minutes longer. Place dough on lightly floured board and roll 
  into a 10x24-inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 
  2-inch squares. In a large heavy saucepan or deep fat fryer, heat 
  oil to 360 degrees F. Fry doughnuts turning to brown on both 
  sides, about 3 minutes, Drain on absorbent towels and sprinkle 
  with powdered sugar. From: Rich Harper
