    In large bowl, sprinkle yeast over water; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, eggs and milk.
    Blend with rotary beater. Add 4 cups of the flour; beat smooth. Add shortening; beat in
    remaining flour. Cover and chill several hours. Deep fry at 360 degrees 2 to 3 minutes or
    until lightly browned on each side. (If beignets don't rise to the top immediately when you
    drop them into the oil, the oil isn't hot enough.) Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle heavily
    with confectioners' sugar. Serve hot
