Bénichon Beignets

Preparation

Beat the eggs and sugar until foamy. Add the cream, white wine, kirsch, salt, and flour.

Work the dough well and "beat" it* for at least 10 min to aerate it.

Let it rest for a few hours. Form small balls of 40 to 50 g (dough portions).

Roll the dough out into thin rounds using a rolling pin, then finish stretching it over the knee.

Fry in hot fat (butter or vegetable shortening). Sprinkle with sugar.

*(Use a circular upward motion with a spatula to "beat" the mixture and incorporate air.)
