PUMPKIN BEIGNETS
Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of very hot water with the salt. Combine the dissolved yeast with 1 cup of the flour and mix until smooth. Form the yeast-flour mixture into a ball and place in a large bowl. Cover with a dishcloth and set in a warm place for 1 hour, until the yeast-flour mixture has doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the remaining flour and the oil and mix well with a wooden spoon. Let stand while the yeast-flour mixture rises.
- When the yeast-flour mixture has doubled in size, combine it with the egg-flour mixture. Stir in the pumpkin puree and the brandy. Beat with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth. Let stand for 1 hour. The dough should be elastic.
- In a frying pan, pour in enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. Heat the oil to 360 degrees. Using a soupspoon or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Drain the beignets on paper towels. Roll them in the confectioners' sugar.
