This is for making fried beignets that are fruit filled. Make the batter and coat fruits same as using a fritter batter. This contains both milk and beer giving it a slightly yeasty flavor with a good coating. Great for all fruits.

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons sugar

• Dash of salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup milk

Notes

For apple beignets: peel apples, core whole or cut round slices then remove core. Dip in batter for round-shaped apple beignets with apple slices.
