Beignets with Fruit Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cup of milk
    • 1 tablespoon Fustini's balsamic (to match fruit in Dipping sauce)
    • 3 cups flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
    • 3 tablespoons plus one teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    • high-temperature oil, such as canola
    • powdered sugar, for dusting

    • 10 ounces of the fruit of your choice
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 2 teaspoons Fustini's infused balsamic to match your fruit choice

    Directions

    1. Pour milk into a measuring cup and add Fustini's balsamic, set aside 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour through baking soda) and mix thoroughly. Add milk mixture, being careful not to overmix. Allow to rest 15 minutes.
    2. Pour oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pan to a depth of 1/4". Heat on medium until temperature reaches 375 degrees. Meanwhile, transfer dough to a lightly floured board. Roll out to 1/8" thickness and cut into 2" squares. When the oil is hot, add beignets to the pan a few at a time, leaving plenty of room around each one. Cook about 1 minute per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining beignets. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with dipping sauce.
    3. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Push mixture through a sieve to remove solids. Pour into a serving dish and serve at room temperature.
