Recipe
Combine 2 cups of the water along with 1/2 cup of oil
and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add the flour
in a stream. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture
rapidly until it separates from the sides of the pan.
Remove from the heat, and let rest 3 or 4 minutes.
Stir in the eggs, one at a time, until they are
thoroughly incorporated in the dough. Set aside.
In a deep skillet or large saucepan, pour oil to a
depth of 3 inches. Heat the oil to 350 degrees or
until a piece of dough dropped in the oil sizzles
instantly. Drop the dough by tablespoons into the hot
oil. Fry the dough in batches until the beignets turn
golden brown and float to the surface, 7 to 8 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beignets to a
platter lined with paper towels to drain. Roll the
beignets in powdered sugar while they are still hot,
and serve.
