Proof the yeast. Scald the milk; stir in the sugar, shortening, and salt.
Cook the mixture to the 105 to 115 degree range. Add milk mixture, egg, and
2 cups flour to the yeast mixture, mixing well. Gradually stir in enough
remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured
surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (8 to 10 minutes). Place in a
well-greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise about 1
hour, or until doubled. Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured
surface. Roll dough into a 12" x 10" rectangle; cut into 2" squares. Place
on a floured surface; cover and let rise in a warm place 30 minutes or
until doubled in bulk.

Heat 3" to 4" of oil to 375 degrees; drop in 3 to 4 beignets at a time.
Cook 1 minute on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels, and
sprinkle with powdered sugar.
