  1. Put milk or water, sugar, butter, and essence of vanilla into a stewpan.
  2. Boil the mixture.
  3. Add flour and stir constantly until the mixture is thick, no longer tastes of flour, and detaches itself from the pan.
  4. Cook for about half an hour, as longer cooking results in a lighter texture.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Stir in six eggs, one at a time.
  7. Sift in about two ounces of sugar until the paste reaches the stiffness of puff paste.
  8. Prepare a pan of hot fat.
  9. Drop small pieces of paste into the hot fat using a spoon; they will increase in size.
  10. Fry until golden brown.
  11. Remove from fat and drain.
  12. Dish on a napkin and dust with sifted sugar.

724. Beignet Soufflé.—Put in a stewpan a pint of milk or water, a teaspoonful of sugar, two ounces of butter, a few drops of essence of vanilla, or any flavor you please; give it a boil, throw in some flour, keep stirring all the time until it becomes quite thick and no longer tastes of the flour and detaches itself from the pan. It will take about half an hour, as the better it is done the lighter it is; withdraw it from the fire, stir in six eggs, one at a time, sift about two ounces of sugar, until the paste is of the stiffness of puff paste; have ready a pan of hot fat, into which you drop by a spoon small pieces of paste, it will increase their size; and when a nice color, take them out, drain, and dish on a napkin, with sifted sugar over.
