Mix the warm milk, warm water, dry yeast, and half of the granulated sugar and let it foam for 8 minutes.
Knead the flour, remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, salt, and yeast mixture.
Knead the dough for 7 minutes, until smooth.
Let the dough rise in a covered container for 75 minutes, until nearly doubled.
Roll the dough to 1 cm thickness and cut into squares.
Heat the vegetable oil to 180°C and fry the dough squares in batches for 2 minutes, until puffed and colored.
Transfer to paper towels, sift plenty of powdered sugar over them while hot, and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: Keep the oil around 180°C; low heat makes the dough absorb oil, while high heat browns the outside before the inside cooks.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve beignets hot with filter coffee or Turkish coffee if desired for a weekend dessert plate.
