Brazilian Beignet Bliss: Bolinhos de Chuva Recipe

Ingredients:

- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- Oil for frying
- Cinnamon and sugar for dusting


EQUIPMENT

- Deep Fry Thermometer
- Slotted spoon
- Dusting Wand for Sugar

Preparation:

- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, butter, sugar and salt until smooth.
- Slowly add the flour, baking powder and milk, stirring carefully with a wooden spoon, until you have a thick but cohesive batter.
- In a large pot, heat several inches of vegetable oil to 360 degrees F.
- Using two spoons, scoop some of the batter and scrape it off into the hot oil. Make sure to work in batches, frying about 5 to 6 beignets at a time, flipping them occasionally for even browning. They should take 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bolinhos from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain the excess oil.
- While they are still hot, roll or dust with sugar and cinnamon.
- Serve immediately!
