Ingredients
- 3 c. self-rising flour
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 c. whole lowfat milk
- 1/2 c. buttermilk
- Â Â Cottonseed oil for frying
- Â Â Confectioners' sugar for serving
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add in lowfat milk and buttermilk, combine thoroughly; don't overmix. A hard dough is desired (additional flour may be added if necessary). Set aside to rise, about 15 min.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured board; roll to approximately 1/8-inch thick. Using a sharp knife or possibly pastry wheel, cut into 3-inch squares.
- Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat till a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees. Add in the squares to the warm oil, turning over once till golden, 2 to 3 min. Using a slotted spoon, remove the beignets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately.
