June 29, 2010, 10:55am
In our pilot episode, we show how to prepare and cook the Mickey Beignets as found in Disneyland's Cafe Orleans and Blue Bayou. These delicious "French fritters" (doughnuts) are a tasty closing to any meal and well worth all the long, hard, and tedious work to get them just right.
The recipe and instructions are as follows:
1 package Active Dry Yeast
1 1/2 cups Warm Water
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs
1 cup Evaporated Milk
8 cups All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup Shortening
Canola Oil for Frying
Confectioners Powdered Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast over water; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, eggs and milk. Blend with blender. Add 4 cups flour; beat smooth. Add remaining flour and shortening, and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight. Roll out on floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into Mickey shapes. Deep fry at 360 degrees for 20-30 seconds per side until lightly browned on both sides. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately!
