Let's start the "Moroccan Street Food" series with this amazing Beignets. So soft, fluffy and yummmyyyy!!! RECIPE: https://goo.gl/BvpLcw INGREDIENTS: 2 teaspoons (7 grams) dry yeast 50 grams (1/4 cup) white granulated sugar 180 millilitres (3/4 cup) lukewarm water 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 50 milliliters (1/4 cup) lukewarm milk 440 + 180 grams (3 1/2 cups + 1 1/2 cup) all purpose flour 3 tablespoons butter, softened Vegetable oil for frying White granulated sugar for decoration Jam of choice Powdered sugar DIRECTIONS: Step 1: Prepare the dough 1- In a large bowl, combine the dry yeast, sugar, and lukewarm water. 2- Using a whisk, mix until the yeast is dissolved and let rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast. You will notice the mixture becoming thicker and will have bubbles on the surface. 3- Add salt and one egg, mix until well combined and add the milk. Mix again. 4- In a large bowl, place 440 grams (3 1/2 cups) of flour, make a well in the center and add the wet mixture. Gently mix all the ingredients by hand until you get a sticky dough. 5- Add the butter and continue mixing until complitely incorporated. 6- Add the remaining flour little by little while kneading the dough until you get a soft dough. 7- Transfer the dough on a flat surface and keep kneading it with the palm of your hands until you get a soft non-sticky malleable dough. 8- Sprinkle some flour in a large bowl and place the dough in it. Cover with a plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 1 hour until it doubles in size. 9- Remove the plastic wrap and using your fist, push the dough down to remove all the air bubbles. Step 2: Shape the beignets 10- On your workstation, sprinkle some flour, transfer the dough onto it and sprinkle some flour on top. 11- Roll out the dough to about ½ cm (¼ inch) thickness. Using a medium cookie cutter, cut out circles in the dough, then using a small cookie cutter, cut out holes in the center of the large circles. 12- Place the beignets in a baking pan covered with parchment paper and the small round circles of dough in a separate baking pan. 13- Keep rolling and cutting the rest of the dough until you are done. 14- Cover the beignets with a clean towel and let them rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes until they gain some volume. Step 3 : Deep fry the beignets 15- In a frying pan over medium-low heat, heat some vegetable oil. 16- Add the beignets and fry them on both sides. Keep turning the beignets around so they get an even golden brown color. 17- Place the beignets on a paper towel to absorb excess oil then dip them immediately in granulated white sugar and cover them from all sides. 18- Serve immediately. Step 4: Prepare the round donuts 19- In your still warm oil, fry the round donuts on both sides until they are golden brown. 20- Place round donuts on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. 21- Cut the donuts in the middle and fill them with jam, my favorite is the strawberry jam. Sprinkle with icing sugar on top and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
