Beignets!(ben-yeahs)

For the past few Sundays, we have had Beignets for dessert.
Grandma Susy realized, that she had quite a few boxes of mix in storage that needed to be used.
Grandpa Blaine, has an uncle, in Louisiana, that sends a box of Beignet mix every year for Christmas.
So Uncle Klint, taught Ellie and the kids how to make them.
1st, knead the water, and the mix together to make a sticky dough.
Next form the dough into a ball, and then roll it out on a floured surface.
Ray likes to watch Klint at work.
Next cut the dough, into 2" strips one way.
Then the other way to form 2" squares.
All Done, and ready to be put in the hot oil.
When the oil is hot enough, deep fry the beignets until puffed up, drain on a paper towel,
Cover in powdered sugar and enjoy!
Lip Lickin' Good!
