---|---|---|
2.00 | quart | vegetable oil; for deep-frying |
3½ | cup | sifted flour; + extra for rolling |
1½ | teaspoon | cream of tartar |
½ | teaspoon | baking soda |
½ | teaspoon | nutmeg |

1.00 | cup | sugar |

Directions
In a deep-fryer heat oil over medium-high heat to 365 degrees. Into a bowl sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a large bowl whisk together sugar and eggs; stir in melted shortening, milk and lemon rind. Using a wooden spoon, beat dry ingredients into egg mixture until a biscuit-like dough forms.
Lightly flour work surface and turn out dough. Pat dough out to a ¼-inch thick round. Use a 2½- to 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut rounds. Reroll scraps. Fry beignets in small batches about 4 minutes or until golden, turning several times to color evenly. Using a slotted spoon gently remove beignets and drain thoroughly on paper towels. Shake powdered sugar over beignets and serve immediately.
This recipe yields about 1 dozen 2 ½-inch beignets.
