 Categories: Doughnuts
      Yield: 36

    3/4 c  Evaporated milk
           (undiluted from can)
    1/2 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Butter
    3/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Warm water
      1 pk Active dry yeast
      1    Egg (extra large)
  4 1/2 c  Flour
           Oil for frying
           Confectioners' sugar
    1/2    Hour or until doubled

  Combine the evaporated milk, sugar, butter and salt in a 
  saucepan. Heat until the butter is melted, then cool to lukewarm. 
  Pour the warm water into a large bowl and sprinkle in the yeast; 
  stir until completely dissolved. Add the lukewarm milk mixture 
  and the egg. Beat in t cups of the flour. Add enough of the 
  remaining flour to make a dough. 
  
  Turn the dough out onto a floured board. Knead until smooth and 
  elastic, about 8 minutes. Place the dough in a large greased bowl 
  and cover with a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place until 
  doubled in size, about 2 hours. Punch the dough down on a floured 
  board and knead. Roll out to a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. 
  Cut into 2 1/2 inch squares, cover with a towel, and let rise for 
  
  Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375F. Fry the beignets a few at a 
  time until puffed and golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning 
  once. Drain. While still warm, sprinkle generously with 
  confectioners' sugar. 
  
  Makes about 3 dozen.
