Not Quite Beignets

On Sunday morning I "whipped up" some dough for doughnuts. If I were to give you the recipe it would go something like this: basic white yeast bread adding a little sugar and an egg, and using half canned milk for the liquid. Then the great part is after kneading, you can put the dough in the fridge for up to three days, keeping it well covered. If you want to eat them nice and hot, the Krispy Kreme way, take out the amount you want to fry, press dough down and cut into the shape you want. I aimed for triangles. Let sit for a few minutes, then drop in medium hot oil. Turn and take out to drain when done. Roll in or sprinkle on powdered sugar. I have had them for three days in a row and think they are as good as the ones at Cafe du Monde! Here with a cup of (instant) Cafe Francais.
