Activate the yeast by combining 160 grams of milk and 240 grams of half-and-half at a temperature between 105 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit in a bowl.

Add 60 grams of sugar and 7 grams of yeast to the milk mixture and mix together. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it starts to bubble and a layer of film forms on top.

In a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine 550 grams of flour, 10 grams of kosher salt, 10 grams of Bob's Red Mill egg replacement, 60 grams of room-temperature butter, and the yeast milk mixture.

Mix on medium-low speed for two minutes.

Turn the dough onto a floured cutting board and knead for one to two minutes until smooth.

Coat the inside of a mixing bowl with butter, add the dough, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for about 30 minutes until it has doubled in size.

Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured cutting board.

Use Mickey cookie cutters to cut out the beignets.

Let the cut-out beignets rise for another 30 minutes before frying.

Heat vegetable oil to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry the beignets for about two minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Let the beignets rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil for a few minutes.

Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and enjoy while warm.
