Serves 4Makes 24Café au Lait
  • 2 tablespoons chicory coffee mix (1 part ground chicory + 2 parts ground French roast coffee)
  • 2 cups (16 fluid ounces) brewed chicory coffee
  • 2 cups (16 fluid ounces) steamed whole milk
Beignets
  • 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • ½ cup + 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
  • ½ teaspoon yeast
  • 4 fluid ounces butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature, beaten
  • 4 cups (550g) flour, additional for dusting surfaces
  • Oil as needed, for frying
To make the chicory coffee blend, combine 1 part ground chicory to 2 parts ground French roast coffee.
Brew 2 cups of coffee using 2 tablespoons of the chicory coffee blend. Divide the brewed coffee 4 ways. Stir ½ cup steamed milk into each ½ cup of coffee and top with steamed milk foam.
For the beignets, heat the evaporated milk to 110 degrees F. Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar and the yeast. Let the yeast dissolve and ferment for 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter, ½ cup sugar, and egg. Slowly add the flour, mixing until fully combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and let rest to double in size, approximately 1 to 2 hours.
In a fryer or saucepan, preheat the oil to 375 degrees F.
On a well-floured surface, roll the dough ball to form a rectangle, ¼-inch thick (for crispier beignets, roll the dough to ⅛-inch instead). Cut into 1x2-inch pieces and use a bench scraper to transfer them to the frying oil. Once browned on one side, turn them over and brown the other side. Remove from oil and transfer to a wire cooling rack to drain off excess oil.
Serve warm, and generously dust with powdered sugar.
