Beignets or Scones

Who like scones from Chuckarama? Here’s my version of them, called beignets.
Beignets
In a container combine and bloom-
1/4 cup warm water
1 Tbsp active yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
In a large bowl whisk together-
4 cups flour (more for kneading)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
In a small bowl-
1/4 cup softened butter
In a container combine-
2 eggs
1 can evaporated milk
1 Tbsp Vanilla extract
Make a well in the center and combine yeast and egg mixture combine.
Add butter and mix together to form a dough and place on floured board
and knead until dough forms into a soft dough. Place in oil bowl and cover
to rise for about an hour.
Heat oil to 275-300 degrees. Roll dough flat on floured board and cut
into rectangular shapes. Drop dough into hot oil and cook until golden brown.
Place on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar when slightly cooled.
Enjoy!
