This week, I'm sharing two recipes that go together. Thursday's recipe will be a suace for today's.
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon choopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons creole seasoning
1 pound lump crabmeat, drained and picked free of shell
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cups amber lager beer
Canola oil for frying
In a small bowl, stir togetner mascarpone, shallot, thyme,, and Creole seasoning. Gently stir in crab. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. (Mixture can be made 1 day ahead of time.)
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powde, and salt. Whisk in beer until smooth. (Batter will be thick.)
In a Dutch oven, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches, and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350℉.
Working in batches, shape crab mixture into 1-tablespoon balls, and using 2 forks, gently roll balls in batter to coat completely.
Fry beignets in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minyes. Let drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve hot with Creole Mustard Sauce (Thursday's Recipe)
