Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda and sugar.
- Make a hole in the middle and crack 3 eggs into it and mix.
- Add the butter, lemon juice and orange blossom water. Incorporate into the flour mix and knead.
- For two balls of dough and let rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight (preferably).
- Stretch the dough with a rolling pan (or an empty bottle).
- With a knife, or pizza wheel, make 20 diamonds.
- For a more traditional shape, make 1 1/2 long slit in the center of the diamond and take one of the diamond's corners through the slit.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan. Temperature should reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Dip beignets in the oil for a few seconds on each side (just enough time to get them to a blond, even color).
- Let them dry on a paper towel and for a fun effect, sprinkle confectioner's sugar on them. Enjoy!
