      Title: Mickey Mouse Beignets
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 24 Beignets

    1/2 ts Dry yeast
    1/4 c  Water; warm (105°F/40°C)
    1/4 c  Sugar
      2 tb Vegetable shortening
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Heavy cream
      1 lg Egg
      4 c  A-P flour
    1/2 c  Water; boiling
           Oil; for frying
           Powdered sugar

  Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl, stirring to
  dissolve. Let stand for 5 minutes.

  Combine sugar, shortening, salt, heavy cream, egg, flour, and
  boiling water in a large bowl; stir in yeast mixture. With the
  dough hook attachment of an electric mixer on medium speed, mix the
  dough just until combined and smooth. Let dough rest for
  30 minutes.

  Roll to 1/4" thickness and cut individual beignets with a Mickey
  Mouse-shaped cutter or cut into 2-1/2 to 3" squares. Cover with a
  towel and let dough rise until doubled in size in a warm,
  draft-free area, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

  Using caution, heat 3" of vegetable oil to 350°F/175°C in a deep,
  heavy pot over medium-high heat. Fry beignets until golden brown,
  about 2 to 3 minutes, turning as soon as they brown on one side.
  Remove with tongs and place on paper towels to drain. Dust warm
  beignets with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
