Biscuit Beignets with Praline Sauce
Praline Sauce 8 Tbsp. butter 1 cup brown sugar 3 Tbsp. milk 3 Tbsp. vanilla extract ¼ cup chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts Beignets 1 tube large flaky-style biscuit dough 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar For the Praline Sauce Melt butter in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and whisk until sugar melts and mixture begins to boil, about 5 minutes. Stir in milk, vanilla, and nuts until smooth. Set aside. For the Beignets Separate biscuits and cut into fourths. Spray each side with a light spray of canola oil. Bake at 330 degrees for 10 minutes in single layer batches so that the biscuits do not touch and have room to expand. Biscuits will cook very quickly. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with Praline Sauce.
