🍓 Pink Strawberry Beignets, they are better than Cafe Du Monde Fluffy, fruity, and a fun twist on the classic—perfect for when you’re craving a little magic in your kitchen! 🐸Ingredients: • 5 tsp dry yeast • 3 tbsp sugar • ½ tsp baking soda • 1½ cups buttermilk • ½ cup boiling milk • 5½ cups (690g) bread flour • ½ tsp salt • ½ cup strawberry purée (from fresh or frozen strawberries) • Strawberry jam (optional, for filling) • Powdered sugar, for dusting • Honey (optional, for drizzling—to feel like Tiana) 🍓For the Strawberry Purée: • 16 oz strawberries • ½ cup sugar • Zest of 1 lemon To Make the Purée: Blend strawberries, sugar, and lemon zest until smooth. Set aside. 🐭🍀Let’s Make beignets 1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, boiling milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until bubbly, then stir in the strawberry purée. 2. Make the Dough: In a stand mixer, combine bread flour, baking soda, and salt. Pour in the strawberry-milk mixture and mix with a dough hook for 3–4 minutes until sticky but smooth. 3. Let It Rise: Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour—until doubled in size. 4. Shape the Beignets: Roll dough out on a floured surface to ½ inch thick. Trim edges and cut into rectangles, circles, or hearts for some extra fanciness (hahaha). 5. Fry Time: Heat oil to 350°F. Fry 1–2 beignets at a time, spooning hot oil over the tops. Flip after about 2 minutes, and cook until golden, puffed, and pink. 6. Finishing Touches: Dust with powdered sugar.
