Fried beignets

Directions

1. Dissolve the yeast in a little warm water and stir until smooth.

2. Add the rest of the water as well as all the other ingredients and blend with a mixer until smooth. The consistency should be a little bit thicker than that of whipped cream and it should be stretchy.
You should already see tiny bubbles forming as an effect of the yeast.

3. Cover bowl and allow to sit for at least an hour to enable it to fully rise.

4. Prepare for deep frying by heating enough oil in a pot.

5. Before you start frying, briefly mix the mixture (with spoon or hands), then using your hands (or a spoon), scoop up some of the batter and drop into the oil.

6. Continuously drop balls of mixture into oil until no space is left.

7. As soon as the underside turns brown, use a fry spoon to flip the balls so that the other side can get brown as well.

8. Remove puff puffs from oil and let them drain in a colander lined with paper towels.
