We are starting of the New Year with delicious Mini Beignets {french doughnuts} and some rich creamy homemade chocolate truffle hot cocoa.
Mini Beignet Recipe
{french doughnuts}
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup half and half
- 7 cups flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- Vegetable Oil
- 3-4 cups powdered sugar
Sweet & Simple Tip: I have made the dough without chilling overnight. I just popped it into the freezer for 20 minutes to chill. They will be slightly different but still very good. It will turn out fine this way if you decide to make some at the last minute and not the night before. Enjoy!
