Ingredients:
1 package: Yeast,
3 tbsp: , water, warm
3/4 cup: Milk,
1/4 cup: Sugar,
1/4 cup: Shortening,
1 tsp: Salt,
1: Egg, beaten

Directions:
Proof the yeast. Scald the milk; stir in the sugar, shortening, and

mixture, egg, and 2 cups flour to the yeast mixture, mixing well.
Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn
the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and
elastic (8 to 10 minutes). Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to
grease the top. Cover and let rise about 1 hour, or until doubled.
Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough
into a 12" x 10" rectangle; cut into 2" squares. Place on a floured
surface; cover and let rise in a warm place 30 minutes or until
doubled in bulk.
Heat 3" to 4" of oil to 375 degrees; drop in 3 to 4 beignets at a
time. Cook 1 minute on each side or until golden. Drain on paper
towels, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
