On the 3rd day before Christmas my oven didn’t bake for me, instead we are deep frying some peppermint beignets!
These are inspired by the ones offered at Disneyland during the holiday season. It’s a peppermint beignet covered with candy cane powdered sugar.
| Recipes |
2 ¼ tsp Yeast
3 Tbsp Water (100º - 110º)
¾ Cup Milk
½ tsp Peppermint Extract
¼ Cup Sugar
¼ Cup Butter
1 tsp Salt
1 Egg (add into mixture with milk)
3 Cups Flour
Combine ingredients, allow dough to proof for an hour or until double in size. Deep fry until they expand and turn golden brown, 2- 3 minutes.
Combine candy cane candy with powdered sugar to create the candy cane dusting, sift over the beignets.
On the 4th day before Christmas my oven didn’t bake, instead we are deep frying some hot chocolate beignets.
These little doughnut like treats were inspired by the ones they offer at the Disneyland resort during the holiday season.
I gave mine a twist and decided to make them extra chocolatey by adding cocoa powder and hot chocolate to the dough. The ones at the park are the traditional treat sprinkled with hot cocoa and served with hot chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
| Recipe |
2 ¼ tsp Yeast
3 Tbsp Water (100º - 110º)
¾ Cup Milk (add hot chocolate)
¼ Cup Sugar
1 tsp Salt
¼ Cup Butter
1 Egg (I accidentally left this out, gives a more dense beignet)
3 Cups Flour
¼ Cup Cocoa Powder
Combine ingredients, allow dough to proof for an hour or until double in size. Deep fry in oil until they expand, 2 - 3 minutes.
For the 5th day before Christmas my oven baked for me, Red Velvet Cupcakes! This was a highly requested recipe but I’ve only done it gluten free.
If you like chocolate I highly recommend this with some chocolate chunks/chips.
I personally love red velvet with chocolate chips.
