Disney Cooking S01E01 - Mickey Beignets

This is our first attempt at a cooking show, where we demonstrate how to make Mickey Beignets, found at Cafe Orleans and the Blue Bayou. 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!

Also, you can also find very good, fresh, warm beignets at the Jazz Kitchen at Downtown Disney (though they are not Mickey shaped!)

@MyDisneyPinCollectio You're right, they are awesome! And they have some great dipping sauces. I get them to go and eat them on the way home while CL is driving :-).

I've been to a french restaurant where they pronounced it the same way as you--I wouldn't worry about it! :) I really enjoy your videos.

[AMouseAndADream]

@MyDisneyPinCollectio I'm not worried about it.. that's the point. If you view the second video in the series (S01E02), right at the beginning I explain this.. it's intended as a running joke :-). Glad you're enjoying the videos!

You're pronouncing the name completely wrong dude. Stop butchering my people's dessert.

@CHiP201205 Do you not see any of the other comments here?

@luckychar22 it's pronounced "ben-yays" not "ben-yets" like this guy is saying.

[AMouseAndADream]

@luckychar22 Watch the next video where the sauces for these beignets are made.

@AMouseAndADream Haha. That is perfect!!! Now you can make double batches and an assistant can have their own cutter to use!
