How To Make beinets

• Step 1
  Pour boiling water over shortening, sugar, and salt. Add milk and let stand until warm.
• Step 2
  Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water and add to milk mixture with the beaten egg.
• Step 3
  Stir in 2 cups flour and beat well. Gradually add remaining flour to make a soft dough. Place in a greased bowl and grease top of dough. (I use canola oil to grease bowl and top of dough).
• Step 4
  Cover with waxed paper and a tea towel. Chill until ready to use.
• Step 5
  Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Do not let dough rise before frying.
• Step 6
  Cut into squares and fry a few at a time in deep hot fat and brown on one side, turn and brown on the other side. (They get done really fast!)
• Step 7
  Drain on absorbent paper and sprinkle well with powdered sugar. (Make sure grease isn't too hot or dough too thick).
