Cook time: 30
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 8
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: water; baking powder; Creole Seasoning; beef jerky; egg; flour; milk; butter; salt; sugar; Louisiana Caramel Sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Combine water and yeast into small mixing bowl; whisk until frothy. Set aside.
Step 2

Mix beef stick and egg in small bowl; set aside. Add flour and 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning to large mixing bowl; whisk to combine. Create well in center of flour. Add egg mixture, milk, butter, yeast mixture and salt; mix well until liquids are absorbed and dough is formed. Dough may be sticky. If dough is dry, add more milk to soften. Knead dough 2 minutes until surface feels smooth. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes.

Cooking Tip: Dough may also be prepared the night before and refrigerated.
Step 3

Blend remaining 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning and sugar in small bowl; set aside. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 18 x 12-inch rectangle, 1/4-inch thick. Using floured knife, cut dough into 24 diamonds or squares. Let dough sit 30 minutes, covered. Heat countertop fryer with oil to 360°F per manufacturers instructions. Fry beignets 5 minutes until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Fry in batches, not overcrowding the oil.
Step 4

Sift Cajun Seasoning mixture over both sides of beignets immediately after being removed from the oil. Serve immediately with Louisiana Caramel Sauce, as desired.
