1 3/4 cups Bread Flour
1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 Eggs
3/4 cup Milk

Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Pour dough ingredients into

When dough cycle ends, remove dough from machine. On floured surface with

squares.
Place on greased trays, cover, and let rise 30 minutes, until doubled in

In wok or large saucepan, heat oil to 365 degrees for deep frying. Fry 3-4
beignets at a time for 10-15 seconds on one side until golden. Turn

sheet of paper towel. To coat beignets, shake a few at a time in paper bag
